51'

Weligton gets involved with Higuain. He slaps the Real Madrid player on the face. Referee never spotted it otherwise he would have been off.

50'

Malaga simply been outplayed. This could turn into a rout if the home side are not careful.

49'

GOAL FOR REAL! Ronaldo low and hard to the bottom right hand corner of the net. Surely all over now. Quality penalty.

48'

Di Maria preparing to come back on as Real keep the ball. Penalty to Real. Edu Ramos brings down Ozil in the box. Stupidity.

47'

Real in control in that first period with Ozil and Khedira really working hard. Di Maria is down injured. He will need a bit of treatment. Fernando challenged him there.

46'

Real have the ball and they are ready to kick off.

45+1'

There goes the whistle! All over for the first period. Los Blancos well on top. A fine first half from them. Really dominant.

44'

Looks like Real will be heading top of the table this evening. A minute to be added.

43'

Gamez is booked for a late foul on Marcelo. Poor tackle by the home player. Meanwhile, sub keeper Arnau is booked for complaining.

42'

GOAL FOR REAL! Ozil races into the box and supplies Ronaldo to tap the ball into the net from five yards. Fine move by Real on the break.

41'

Jose Mourinho is not happy about that decision against Ronaldo. He makes his feelings known.

40'

The home fans not losing heart. Making plenty of noise. Ozil supplies Ronaldo, but the Real forward is penalised for a foul on Weligton.

39'

Owusu-Abeyie too greedy and he has his pocket picked. Wanted too long on the ball and the chance is going for Malaga.

38'

Owusu-Abeyie is the latest player to be caught offside. Went too early there.

37'

Apono takes the free-kick, but hits the wall and Rondon is offside.

36'

Owusu-Abeyie has the ball. Carvalho then fouls Apono on the edge of the box. Malaga have a free-kick.

35'

Di Maria picks out Ronaldo. He tries to play a cute little pass, but Stadsgaard is on hand to block.

34'

Going to be another booking. Edu Ramos is booked for hammering Di Maria.

33'

Real with an astonishing 65% of possession. That tells you enough about the pressure, but Malaga still a threat on the break.

32'

Owusu-Abeyie dashes into the box and crosses, but Rondon just fails to connect with the ball. Better play by Malaga.

31'

Casillas forced to save from Rondon. That was a fine bit of play as drove to the byline.
