Highlights

90+2'

THERE GOES THE WHISTLE! Benzema heads over the bar and that is the last action of the match. Real go top. Excellent stuff. Thanks for joining our Spanish action this evening. Has been an exciting night.

89'

Going to be two minutes added to the 90.

88'

The three subs have not exactly weakened Real. They continue to dominate as we head for the final whistle. Canales has been booked for stopping a quick free-kick.

87'

Stadsgaard across to tackle Ronaldo. The Malaga defender has enjoyed a decent game this evening and has also scored.

86'

Benzema fires wide of goal. Almost added the fifth goal from inside the box. Tight angle. Unlucky.

85'

Weligton has brought down Pedro León. That looked a stonewell penalty, but is not given.

84'

Rondon knocks a tame shot wide of the goal. Sums it up really for Malaga in this second half.

83'

He likes his chewing gum and he will like the look of that La Liga table tonight. Mourinho's men look every inch title candidates.

82'

Galatto is alert to come and claim Pedro León's chip. Surely all over here.

81'

Canales is on for Ozil. Quality stuff from the German playmaker this evening.

80'

Delightful play by Ozil to set up Benzema. His shot is beaten out by Galatto. Fine save.

79'

Here comes another chance for Real, but not before Galatto stops a Ronaldo shot.

78'

Well, two goals for Ronaldo and two for Higuain. Has been a fruitful night for Los Blancos.

77'

Going to be another change out there for the home side. Portillo is on for Apoño.

76'

Lovely three-man move. Pedro León chips the ball to Ronaldo who heads to Benzema. The French striker hesitates and his shot is blocked.

75'

Pedro León tries his luck from 30 yards. Galatto seems to go down in installments, but he makes the save.

74'

Ozil attempts to feed Benzema in the box, but the pass is cut out. Malaga camped in their own half.

73'

Good skill by Rondon. Gets the cross in, but Alonso is waiting for that. He clears and Real can build again.

72'

Higuaín departs with Bezema introduced. Like Di Maria, Mourinho is quick to pat him on the back. A job well done as they say.

72'

Pedro León goes for goal. His shot lacks energy and bobbles wide. Should maybe have looked to play in Ronaldo, who has a pained expression.
