With three minutes of the first half left to play the hosts scored their second of the match as Saul Niguez headed in Miranda's cross from close range.

Mario Mandzukic almost found the net moments later, but his header from Juanfran's cross went just wide of the post.
Atletico looked the more likely of the two sides to score the next goal and Arda Turan saw his half-volley from outside the box pushed behind by Beto.
In the 83rd minute Raul Garcia scored Atletico's third of the evening from the penalty spot, after Antoine Griezmann had been hacked down inside the box by Diogo Figueiras.
With a minute left to play Raul Jimenez headed in from Koke's free kick to put the seal on a comfortable night for the home side.
