Atletico Madrid have a 2-0 lead over Real Zaragoza at the break in tonight's La Liga encounter at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.
Victory this evening would see Diego Simeone's side temporarily cut Barcelona's lead at the top of the La Liga table down to eight points.
The hosts made their dominance pay in the 31st minute when Tiago rose highest to head in powerfully form a corner.
Atletico's advantage was doubled seven minutes later as Radamel Falcao fired in from the penalty spot following Cristian Sapunaru's reckless challenge on Arda Turan.
