66'

Atletico launch the first meaningful attack of the second half as Griezmann lets fly with a fierce right-footed effort that forces Kepa into making a save.
49'

WHAT A GOAL! BUT IT'S OFFSIDE...! Always dangerous at set-pieces, Godin climbs to meet a free-kick into the box and flick it into the path of Griezmann, whose spectacular acrobatic effort ends up in the back of the net. However, his joy is cut short as the whistle had already been blown for a foul by the centre-half.
41'
Penalty saved by J. Oblak!

25'
T. Partey gets yellow.
Thomas receives the first yellow card of the game following a rash challenge on Garcia.

21'
GOOD TRY! The hosts push forward and, after the ball deflects high into the air, Garcia connects cleanly with a volley that forces Oblak to get down and collect.
18'

15'
After the opening quarter of an hour, it is fair to say that Athletic have been the side to enjoy more possession of the ball. The hosts need to make the most of this, though, as Atletico are slowly starting to find their own feet.
12'
At the other end, Correa gets involved for the first time as he cleverly turns away from Garcia to receive Gimenez's pass. However, his shot curls well wide of the far post.
9'
Athletic do get the first shot of the game on target as Lekue cuts inside from the right wing before letting fly on the edge of the area. Although, his effort is never troubling Oblak, who gathers easily.
7'
It has been a very conservative start to this contest, with both sides choosing not to chance their arms just yet and neither willing to advance too far forward.
4'
The head-to-head record is certainly in favour of Atletico here. Los Rojiblancos have won eight of the 10 most recent meetings between the sides!

KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Athletic get us underway!
Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE text coverage of LaLiga! Today, we're at San Mames as Athletic Bilbao welcome Atletico Madrid - it's good to have your company!
Aiming to continue Atletico's unbeaten start to the season, Diego Simeone makes three changes to the side that beat Malaga at the weekend. Two of those come in defence with Stefan Savic and Jose Gimenez replacing Lucas Hernandez and Juanfran, while Nicolas Gaitan comes in on the right wing with Gabi making way.
ATLETICO MADRID SUBS: Moya, Lucas, Juanfran, Carrasco, Gabi, Torres, Gameiro.
ATHLETIC BILBAO (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Lekue, Nunez, Laporte, Balenziaga; San Jose, Iturraspe; Susaeta, Garcia, Muniain; Aduriz.
ATHLETIC BILBAO SUBS: Boveda, Benat, Williams, Herrerin, Etxeita, Vesga, Cordoba.
The teams are out on the field and kick-off is just moments away!
Recent form suggests that this match is a very tough one to call. Atletico are unbeaten away from home so far in 2017, while only Real Madrid and Barcelona have beaten Athletic at San Mames since the start of last season.
Meanwhile, Jose Angel Ziganda rings the changes - five in all following Athletic's defeat at Las Palmas on Sunday. Inigo Lekue and Mikel Balenziaga come into the defence and Mikel San Jose and Iker Muniain return in midfield, while the evergreen Aritz Aduriz plays as the lone striker.
HALF-TIME: ATHLETIC BILBAO 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
We are goalless at the break between Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, who have Jan Oblak to thank after the goalkeeper made a brilliant save to deny Aritz Aduriz from the penalty spot. In all fairness, a goal is the only missing ingredient from the match so far.
The teams are back out and the second half is imminent.
FULL-TIME: ATHLETIC BILBAO 1-2 ATLETICO MADRID
Atletico Madrid claimed all three points after goals from Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco sealed the deal against Athletic Bilbao, whose consolation from Raul Garcia came too late for them to avoid a second straight defeat in LaLiga. That's all for today - thank you for following our LIVE text coverage. Until next time, see you soon!
