Advantage PSV? Atletico were their usual efficient selves at the back, but they offered very little going forward. In a game of few chances, Luciano Vietto's early effort that was cleared off the line was the closest we came to a goal. PSV held on for the last quarter of the match with 10 men after Gaston Pereiro was given his marching orders. An early away goal in Madrid could make this an intriguing encounter! Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction to follow on site. Goodbye.

Maxime Lestienne replaces Locadia for PSV.
85'
Griezmann has a go from a long way out, but that is never going to beat Zoet. Poor.
83'
Correa has been excellent since coming on. He beats his man with a swift turn, but Zoet is out sharply to smother.
82'
Atleti really lacking that killer instinct. Final pass still eludes them.
80'
Visitors have certainly upped the tempo since being handed the numerical advantage, but they still can't find that goal.

IN THE FACE! Tremendous move from Atleti finds Correa, who blasts at goal, but Bruma blocks brilliantly... with his face!
77'
Torres is played in by Correa, the former Liverpool man fires at goal first time, but Bruma deflects it over.
76'
PSV sitting back, happy to take the 0-0 now with 10-men. One goal for Atleti may kill this tie though.
75'
The atmosphere in the Philips Stadion has really been turned up a notch following Pereiro's recent red card.

It was, when you take into account he was on his last warning. Not a bad foul, but the referee must have had enough.

CHANCE! Ball finds the late arrival of Torres in the box, but the ball bounces just before he connects, and he cannot keep it down.
