We are into the first minute of an additional two.
89'
A. Song enters the game and replaces Xavi.
Villa, who has not had much service in the second half, is fed down the left by Filipe. The Spaniard tries to beat Pique around the outside but he is outmuscled by his former team-mate who takes the ball and calmly passes it out.
87'
Sanchez competes with Godin to try and win the ball in the area but is adjudged to have unfairly challenged the Uruguayan so the chance goes begging.
86'
Neymar gets yellow.
85'
Alves tries to search out Neymar with another deep ball to the far side but this time Juanfran deals with it an cushions it back to the keeper. Certainly a far more hopeful effort from Alves, there.
84'
Neymar tries to pick out Sanchez with a diagonal ball from a left-of-centre position. Courtois reads it though, and comes off his line to pluck the ball out of the sky. Mind you, he has to pat it down and hold it at the second attempt.
82'
It is all Barcelona now, and they are starting to play the sort of football that we are accustomed to seeing from them. Atleti's breaks seem to be restricted to just Leo Baptistao scurrying forward whenever a loose ball falls to him.
79'
C. Rodríguez enters the game and replaces Diego Costa.
In all truth there has been very little on offer from Neymar, other than his goal. He has not really inspired Barcelona to try anything different and they are still coming up against the same walls in the Atleti defence.
77'
The way things are going you get the feeling that Barcelona could actually grab another goal here. There is little over 10 minutes remaining so you sense the hosts will try to see the game out with the score level.
Minute
Description
76'
Léo Baptistão enters the game and replaces A. Turan.
74'
WHAT A SAVE!! Filipe gets completely caught out and leaves Sanchez in space at the back post. The Chilean uses it to bring the ball down but that enables Courtois to position himself and block the shot from close range.
73'
Óliver Torres enters the game and replaces Koke.
72'
JUST OVER!! Xavi looks to whip the set piece around the wall and up into the top corner but it is always rising and Courtois lets it go without getting a hand to it.
71'
A free kick in a dangerous area here for Barcelona as Suarez and Godin combine to bring down Sanchez. Around 25 yards from goal, just right-of-centre...
68'
Villa finds space between the Barcelona defenders and races through the left-hand channel. He takes the ball down to an acute angle but manages to squeeze a shot in on goal, however, Valdes has it covered at his near post.
66'
Neymar has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by Dani Alves.
GOOOOAAALLL!! NEYMAR!! The Brazilian grabs his first competitive goal as he steals in at the back post to head Alves' cross in at the back post! Juanfran did not have any idea he was there and perhaps Courtois should not have been beaten at his near post.
65'
Jordi Alba gets yellow.
Alba goes into the referee's book as he pulls on Diego Costa's shirt in his haste to get back into position and stop the Brazilian racing through on goal.
63'
A brilliant turn from Fabregas puts him into space on the edge of the box. You would expect him to go for goal but he instead opts to pass the ball and ends up giving away possession. Poor decision-making.
61'
Important stop from Valdes! Miranda creates some space with a brilliant flick wide on the left and the ball is then fed into Diego Costa by Arda. The striker lashes it across the goal mouth but the Blaugrana keeper drops to the ground and holds onto it well.
59'
Neymar enters the game and replaces Pedro.
Great defending from Atletico. Pedro tries to beat his man down the left flank but the ball is shepherded out of play by Juanfran. There seems to be no getting through this defence tonight!
57'
It looks like we are going to be seeing Neymar very shortly. The jury still seems to be out on the Brazilian, but I for one believe he will be a star of this side soon down the line.
56'
Mario Suárez gets yellow.
55'
Mario Suarez does superbly to relieve the pressure on his team, picking up a loose ball and racing up the pitch. He is closed down by Mascherano but his team-mates will be delighted with a few moments respite.
52'
Arda wins a free kick in a good area for the hosts. Koke is the man to deliver it and he picks out Miranda at the back post, no further than six yards out. The Brazilian rises above Mascherano but is unable to connect with the ball and it shades the outside of the post.
51'
Courtois is at it again! The keeper flies across his goal to get both hands on a long-range effort from Iniesta. It looked to be heading wide but the Belgian clearly felt he wanted to make sure.
49'
GREAT SAVE!! Sanchez makes a great diagonal run and is picked out inside the area. He takes a touch and looks to poke the ball past Courtois, but the Belgian blocks it. Sanchez quickly reacts and lays the ball back to Fabregas but his first touch allows Arda to race in and dispossess the substitute in front of an open goal.
48'
The second half has begun much like how the first played out. Barcelona enjoying the lion's share of possession while Atleti remain well-organised and compact in defence.
46'
Cesc Fàbregas enters the game and replaces L. Messi.
Here we go! The second half has begun, without Lionel Messi who is replaced by Fabregas.
45' +2
Koke's short corner does not come off and the half-time whistle blows.
45'
Xavi looks to feed Alves down the right but Arda chases back and nods the ball back to Courtois. Great work from the Turkey international.
43'
Sergio Busquets gets yellow.
Busquets picks up a yellow card for a late challenge on Mario Suarez but it is one the Blaugrana man had to make. He could not afford to let the Atleti man break through the middle with his team short at the back so took one for the team.
41'
Alves tries to break but runs into four, i repeat, four, Atleti players inside his own half. Absolutely brilliant pressing from the hosts. They left Alves with absolutely nowhere to go.
40'
Messi drops deep to get on the ball but is quickly closed down by two opponents. The hosts break and look for Diego Costa down the right but as he tries to cut inside upon reaching the box, Mascherano is wise to it and dispossesses him.
39'
Filipe Luís gets yellow.
38'
Diego Costa again chips in defensively and wins the header from the free kick inside the area. It goes as far as Dani Alves who searches out the bottom corner with a low attempt from 25 yards but he fails to hit the target.
37'
Juanfran gives a cheap free kick away on the left flank as he puts a wayward arm on Sanchez, who quickly goes to ground. What can they make of this?
36'
Juanfran gets yellow.
35'
The game is certainly getting a bit heated now, and the home fans are adding to the fiery atmosphere as the boo and jeer the visitors. Barcelona yet to fully get in their stride.
33'
Godin is lucky to get away with that! The centre-back is down on the floor after trying to dispossess Messi, and he seems to intercept the Argentine's flick with his hand. None of the officials notice it, though, much to the dismay of the striker.
31'
Xavi flights the free kick into the box but he is unable to guide it past Diego Costa, who heads the ball away.
30'
Busquets is down on the ground after a rather rough challenge from Koke. The midfielder caught his counterpart on the knee but does not receive any punishment from the referee. Still a free kick in a promising area for the Blaugrana.
28'
Sanchez does well on the right to beat Filipe and find space to supply a cutback. Unfortunately for the Chilean, Godin is the man he picks out and the Uruguayan clears it away.
25'
That is more like it from Barcelona! Xavi slides the ball out wide to Dani Alves who has space to whip a dangerous cross into the area. He fires it in between the defence and their goalkeeper but it is just out of reach for the flying Sanchez.
24'
Villa looks to pick out his strike-partner Diego Costa with a diagonal ball over the top of the defence. It is angled perfectly but slightly overhit and the Brazilian cannot reach it before it runs out of play.
22'
Dangerous from Mascherano! The centre-back hesitates on the ball just outside the area and just about manages to shift it away from Villa as he steams in to close him.
21'
No luck for Sanchez on the right wing. The Chilean is closed down by three Atleti players and after a heavy touch sees him lose possession he goes in heavy on Arda and concedes a free kick. Another example of the hosts' brilliant pressing.
19'
Simeone's side are clearly content to let the Liga champions have possession and instead look to punish them with rapid counterattacks. Despite all of their time on the ball, Barca have yet to really test Courtois.
17'
Top challenge from Pique! The centre-back gets across just in time to stop Villa from sliding an effort at Valdes' goal from inside the area. It has been a great start from the hosts tonight.
16'
ALMOST!! Villa tries to catch Valdes off his line with an early free kick from the half way line but he narrowly misses the target. Audacious from the former Barca man.
15'
Pedro gets into a dangerous crossing area down on the left but as he looks to deliver the ball he slips and ends up sending it straight into the arms of Courtois.
14'
It was a brilliant counterattack from the hosts to create that goal. Villa's movement was sublime but that finish, with the outside of his boot, was absolutely exquisite. Miss him, Barcelona?
12'
David Villa has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by A. Turan.
GOOOOAALL!! Unbelievable strike from Villa! It just had to be him didn't it. Villa released Arda down the left and the Turkey international raced to the corner before cutting the ball back to his team-mate. The former Barcelona man gets on the end of the pass at the top of the box and shows immense technique to find the bottom corner on the volley.
11'
Great play from Messi as he drifts in from the right and clips the ball to the back post. With one touch Alba sets it up for Pedro but, striking his effort first time, he cannot get the ball out from under his feet and can only scuff a tame attempt toward goal.
9'
Horrible reaction from Jordi Alba. The left-back is felled by Diego Costa, who by way of apology gives the Spaniard a pat on the head. Alba, however, decides to fall to the floor holding his head following the contact. He was never going to get anything from that.
8'
We have a short break in play as Miranda recovers from being flattened by his own goalkeeper coming to claim an aerial ball. That looked like a painful one!
7'
Messi surges through the middle of the pitch, holding off numerous Atleti players as he closes in on goal. He judges when to release the ball well, slipping a pass to Dani Alves on the right but the Brazilian fails to find one of his team-mates with a cross into the area.
6'
Barcelona have quickly settled into their usual passing rhythm. Atleti are only pressing when their opponents enter their half and, in all fairness, are doing a good job at it. It will be interesting to see how long they can keep up such intensity.
4'
Good take by Courtois! The on-loan goalkeeper raced off of his line to gather Xavi's delicately-chipped through-ball. Had he not left his line Sanchez may have had a chance to find the back of the net. Good awareness from the Belgian.
2'
Villa is clearly fired up for this one. He gets into a good position but is unable to divert a difficult header on target and moments later concedes a free kick for a rather rash challenge on Sergio Busquets in the centre of the pitch.
1'
We are under way at the Vicente Calderon!
Hello and welcome to Goal's live coverage of the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at the Vicente Calderon. My name is Tom Webber and I am going to be your guide through this evening's game, which of course has the interesting twist of David Villa coming up against his former team-mates. Should be a good one!
Both of these sides got the Liga campaigns off with a win. Diego Simeone's men earned a 3-1 victory over Sevilla while his compatriot got his reign in Catalan off to a bang with a thumping 7-0 triumph at home to Levante. Back to tonight, though, and here are the teams...
Barcelona substitutes: Pinto, Montoya, Song, Dos Santos, Fabregas, Tello, Neymar.
So, as I have already mentioned, David Villa goes up against his former club in just his second competitive appearance for his new side. He will certainly be eager to show Barcelona what they are missing. The Blaugrana's marquee signing, Neymar, only makes the bench for tonight.
Lionel Messi, who scored twice at the weekend, has scored more goals against Atletico Madrid than any other club. His current tally stands at an extremely impressive 20 career goals. Will he be able to add to that this evening? We are going to find out very shortly.
Barcelona are in their alternate kit of red and yellow stripes this evening. Atleti are in their traditional red and white stripes with blue shorts. The players are making their way out onto the pitch now so kick off will be here shortly.
HALF TIME - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Barcelona: Diego Simeone has got his tactics spot on tonight as his side's pressing game has stifled the visitors. David Villa opened the scoring with a stunning strike against his former team, who may look to Neymar and Fabregas on the bench for a reaction in the second half.
Join me in 15 minutes for the second half! It is going to be very interesting to see how it plays out.
Welcome back! The teams are back out on the pitch and the second half will be under way shortly.
FULL TIME - Atletico Madrid 1-1 Barcelona: Neymar's header cancels out David Villa's brilliant volley, handing them a vital away goal in the Supercopa. Simeone may feel his team could have done even more, but will be pleased to still be in the tie ahead of next week's second leg.
That is it from me, Tom Webber. It has been an absolute pleasure to guide you through the action. Have a great night!
