Welcome to the Evening Standard's Champions League coverage of Bayer Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid LIVE.
Bayer Leverkusen kept alive their slim hopes of reaching the knockouts stage with a 2-1 win over Atletico. An own goal from Thomas in the first half and Kevin Volland's strike in the second gave Leverkusen their first points in the group and stopped Atletico from booking their place among the last 16.
Leverkusen struggled to see out the game after Nadiem Amiri was sent off in the 84th minute. Alvaro Morata pulled one back in the third minute of injury time and was only denied an equaliser by a fine save from Lukas Hradecky in the last play of the game.
Atletico would have sealed their place in the second round with a win after Juventus secured a late 2-1 away victory over Lokomotiv Moscow in the other Group D game. With two games remaining, the Italian champion top the group with 10 points, three ahead of Atletico, followed by Leverkusen and Lokomotiv, both with three points.
With kick-off scheduled for 8pm GMT, follow all the goals!
