It remains goalless at the break between Real Valladolid and Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Nuevo Jose Zorrilla in La Liga.

David Villa did have the ball in the net in the eighth minute, but his goal was chalked off by the linesman's flag.

Both teams were sloppy in possession, which has contributed to an untidy opening 45 minutes.

The visitors came closest to breaking the deadlock five minutes before the break when Koke's cross was headed against the crossbar from Miranda.

However, Juan Ignacio Martinez's men remain in the game despite offering very little going forward in front of their home fans.
