The first half started off slowly, as both teams tried to establish possession while settling themselves into the game.

Luciano Vietto looked menacing for Atletico inside the opening 15 minutes but failed to test Asier Riesgo in the Eibar net.

Jackson Martinez had the chance the break the game's deadlock at the 20-minute mark, after Juanfran's pass into the box teed up the Colombian to side-foot his effort at goal, but could only direct it straight at Riesgo.

Eibar replied with a chance of their own shortly afterwards, as Saul Berjon tried his luck from distance, forcing Oblak into a save.

Martinez was Atletico's biggest threat throughout the first 45 and had another chance to make it 1-0, but could not direct Antoine Griezmann's cross on target.

The hosts retained the majority of possession for the remainder of the first half but failed to convert it into any real chances.
