Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Atletico Madrid against Valencia at Estadio Vicente Calderón in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.

Soldado wallops a shot wide of goal. He has been living off scraps this evening. Atletico continue to look the likelier side.

Turan plays a lovely ball into the visiting area. Balls holds up enough off Alba for Diego Alves to hammer it long down the park.

Rami powers a header inches wide! Excellent effort from Costa's corner. So close to the equaliser.

Valencia on the ball. Some nice passing play as Valencia win a corner following a nice run by Alba.

Juanfran drags the cross towards the visiting goal, but too near Diego Alves who plucks it out of the air.

Soldado whacks the ball clear from Diego's corner. Difficult times for Valencia, who can't seem to get out of their own half.

A mix-up between Tophal and Diego Alves in the goal. Another errror by Valencia hands the home side a corner.

Gabi takes a sore one as he falls under pressure from Feghouli. Gabi needing a spot of treatment.

Jonas rises to loop a header at goal from Costa's cross. Easy take for Courtois in the Atletico goal.

Tino Costa's corner trundles along the deck. All too easy for the home defenders who clear the danger.

Miranda rises about Mathieu to win a header and the visiting side earn their first corner of the match.

Costa manages to keep the ball in play deep in the home half, but Filipe smacks the ball off Costa for a throw-in to the home side.

Atletico again get on the ball with some purpose. Valencia at sixes and sevens. Looking a bit dazed at the moment. Ball back with Courtois after Soldado is penalised for a spot of pushing.

Falcao has scored 26 goals in 27 matches in the Europa League. Not a bad return from the forward.

Juanfran darts away from Ruiz. Fortunate to avoid conceding a free-kick there. Valencia all over the place at left-back.

Well, shocking defending really by Rami and Jordi Alba. Slack play is punished. Can't say that goal wasn't coming.

GOAL! Falcao grabs his 31st goal of the season with a neat header and Atletico lead. Turan with the cross ahead of Rami. Super finish.

Adrian miskicks his shot at goal from Arda Turan's pass. Valencia being pushed back with every home attack.

Feghouli knocks the ball behind for a corner from the challenge with Filipe. Corner again is disappointing as Valencia wallop it clear.

Diego whips in the free-kick, but Soldado rises to head clear. Corner comes in from Diego, but Diego Alves is on hand to collect the loose ball.

Feghouli has been booked for tugging the shirt of Filipe. Free-kick chance just outside of the area.
