33'
Felix tries to flick an outside of the boot pass into the path of Lemar, but the pass had a little too much weight on it and carried straight through to Herrera.
29'
Felix was played through perfectly by Lemar, but the former's first touch let him down and the chance goes with the Portuguese international winding up on the floor. Again.
28'
Koke drives to the edge of the box and hammers a right-footed effort high above Herrera's crossbar. The angle was never in his favour there.
26'
Manu Sánchez gets yellow.

Ruben Garcia whips in a cross for a set-piece play that needs a bit more work on the training ground by the looks of it. Goal-kick to Atletico Madrid.
9'
Felipe launches a lofted throughball forward to Morata who drives in on goal... until he hears the whistle for offside. He just mistimed the run there.

Atletico get forward quickly and a scuffed Lemar shot looked as though it was going to fall perfectly for Morata in the box, until Herrera launched off his line to deny the opportunity. It will be a corner to the hosts.

Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of this LaLiga match between Atletico Madrid and Osasuna!
Atleti will surely be confident heading into this match considering they have lost just one of their last 11 league matches against Osasuna.
Now, let’s take a look at the team news!
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Felipe, Jose Gimenez, Manuel Sanchez; Saul Niguez, Koke, Thomas Partey, Thomas Lemar; Joao Felix, Alvaro Morata.
Atletico Madrid substitutes: Antonio Adan, Santiago Arias, Angel Correa, Mario Hermoso, Hector Herrera, Marcos Llorente, Ivan Saponjic.
Osasuna substitutes: Inaki Alvarez, Brandon, Robert Ibanez, Adrian Lopez, Jon Moncayola, Luis Perea, Inigo Perez.
The players are walking out of the tunnel now. Not long to go until kick-off!
It will be interesting to see how these sides adjust in the second half. Atletico Madrid ended the half with a lot of momentum but no goals to show for it. Simeone will likely stand pat for now, but don't be surprised if we see some attacking substitutions if they're still goalless at the hour mark. As for Osasuna, they've been kept in this match by the heroics of Herrera, and may well choose to help him by strengthening the midfield or defence to hold on for the draw, rather than bolstering the attack to chase all three points.
As for what's coming next for these clubs, Atletico will hope to carry their momentum into their match against Betis next Sunday, while Osasuna have a date with Lorca Deportiva in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
That will do it for our live coverage of this LaLiga match between Atletico Madrid and Osasuna! We hope you enjoyed following along, and will join us again soon!
