Deportivo la Coruna vs Real Madrid, Live Score and Commentary, La Liga 2017-18, (DEP v RMA)

FT: Deportivo la Coruna 0-3 Real Madrid

90+2' Absolutely foolish from Ramos as he leads with his elbow while challenging for an aerial ball. A clear yellow card, which leads to his 18th red card.

90+2' SERGIO RAMOS IS SENT OFF FOR A SECOND YELLOW!

90' 2 minutes of injury time.

89' ANDONE MISSES! NAVAS DIVES THE RIGHT WAY AND GETS A HAND TO THE BALL!

88' ZIDANE IS ABSOLUTELY LIVID! Carvajal commits a foolish foul on the edge of the box on Bruno Gama and the referee points to the spot. Andone to take

88' PENALTY TO DEPORTIVO

87' Florin Andone goes into the book for a foul on... you guessed it, Sergio Ramos. The Depor fans are a bit angry.

86' Marco Asensio takes a free-kick from the right channel with his left foot and forces Ruben to make a smart save with a powerful, dipping shot.

85' CHANCE! Adrian breaks down the middle and plays a clever pass to his left to Andone in space, but the striker's shot is a bit to close to Navas, who collects the ball with ease.

84' Dani Carvajal tries to bulldoze his way through the right channel, shrugging off a tug from Mosquera, but he's eventually thwarted. The ref books Mosquera after the advantage plays out.

82' With Marcelo still off the pitch, Kroos takes a corner from the left and Depor clear the ball out. The Brazilian takes his chance to come back on, a bit too sprightly.

81' Schar's hand catches Marcelo in his abdomen, and the Brazilian goes down in agony, with Madrid's doctors coming on for treatment.

79' Lucas Vazquez comes on to replace Gareth Bale for Real Madrid.

78' CHANCE! Marcelo and Asensio combine brilliantly down the left, with the latter's cross into the box collected by Benzema, with his pass to Bale laid off by the Welshman to Modric. The Croat's shot is miscued and Depor breathe a sigh of relief as the the ball trickles wide.

76' After lovely footwork from Benzema in the box, his cross is deflected by Sidnei into Marcelo's path, with the Brazilian hammering a shot with his right foot well over the bar.

74' Marcelo uses the run of Asensio on the overlap as a decoy, before curling in a decent cross, but Benzema is on his heels and Depor manage to clear the danger.

72' Marcos Llorente comes on to replace Casemiro for Real Madrid.

70' Bruno Gama's been fairly anonymous after coming on, but the Depor striker makes an appearance with a crude shove on Nacho. Not exactly what Pepe Mel had in mind... or maybe exactly what Pepe Mel had in mind.

68' WOOOAH! Marcelo dances his way past Juanfran on the left side of the box, before curling a low shot with his right foot, but Ruben positions himself well to collect the underpowered shot with ease.

66' Isco is replaced by Marco Asensio for Real Madrid.

65' Celso Borges is replaced by Adrian

64' OFF THE CROSSBAR! Deportivo nearly grab a goal back, with wicked shot from a narrow angle on the right beating Navas all ends up, but clanging off the crossbar into safety.

62' Benzema, Isco and Bale combine beautifully to send the Welshman clear down the left wing, with Bale then cutting inside before cutting the ball back for Kroos to run onto. The German's shot takes a minor deflection of a Depor defender and nestles into the top corner, with Ruben having no chance.

Deportivo 0-3 Real Madrid

62' GOAAAL TONI KROOOOS!

61' Gareth Bale takes the free-kick from a central position 31 metres out, and the Welshman's shot is right at Ruben.

60' Cartabia goes into the book for bringing down Casemiro in a 3-v-3 situation.

59' RAMOS DENIES DEPORTIVO WITH A GOAL-LINE CLEARANCE! Depor take a corner quickly and burst into the left side of the box, with Andone glancing a near post header to the far post where Ramos bails out his keeper with a controlled touch with his thigh on the line, allowing Navas to collect the ball subsequently.

57' Luka Modric goes into the book for a cynical foul to prevent Luisinho from counter attacking.

55' Bruno Gama comes on to replace Zakaria Bakkali for Deportivo

53' SERGIO RAMOS ESCAPES A RED CARD! After Bakkali is down and Madrid take their time to play the ball out, Schar is livid and the players gather together, with Ramos shoving Schar's face with his hand. The referee gives a yellow card to both players, and Madrid can count themselves lucky.

52' Toni Kroos sends in a corner from the right wing, but it is cleared out to Modric, who allows Kroos to take another shot at it, only for Depor to clear.

49' CHANCE! Isco is send clear down the right channel and with Madrid in a 2-on-1 attack, the Spaniard is disappointed that his low cross to an unmarked Bale in the box is intercepted.

48' Depor work the ball well down the left channel with Sidnei and Borger, before squaring the ball to Mosquera, but his effort is blocked by Casemiro, with the ball looping into Navas' hands.

46' PEEP PEEP PEEP! Deportivo get us underway in the second half, playing from left to right.

The players have exited the tunnel and made their way out onto the pitch. Kickoff in the second half is coming up next.

There were 44 passes in the build-up to Casemiro's goal, the most in a La Liga match since the 2005/06. Real Madrid are doing tiki-taka better than Barcelona now....

HT: Deportivo 0-2 Real Madrid

45+1' Cartabia sends in a poor through ball down the right channel, after Andone runs past Ramos.

45' 1 minute of injury time.

44' Andone takes a tumble while chasing a long ball alongside Ramos, but the referee isn't conned, although the fans within the Riazor are wild.

42' Juanfran sends a great cross from the right wing, and Andone gets ahead of Ramos in the box to glance a header towards goal, but Navas positions himself well to collect the ball.

40' Toni Kroos sends in a great delivery from the right, but Sidnei clears the ball with Bale lurking and Depor eventually clear the ball out of play.

39' Madrid have kept the ball well in the last few minutes, attempting to kill off the momentum of Deportivo. Carvajal earns a free-kick, when Luisinho foolishly concedes the foul.

37' Luisinho swings in a great cross from the left wing, and Andone gets his head to the ball, but his effort flies well over. Encouraging stuff from Pepe Mel's side.

36' OOOH! Bakkali is sent clear down the left wing and comes inside on his right foot, before curling a shot wide off the goal, although Andone is present at the far post.

35' Deportivo have controlled the ball well in the last few minutes, but Madrid have dropped back into a defensive block. The hosts cannot break Madrid down and eventually lose the ball.

32' Hypnotic stuff from Real Madrid in the buildup as they switch sides with ease, as Depor chase shadows all over the pitch, only for Nacho to end things with a misplaced pass.

30' Good news for Madrid fans, as Carvajal seems to have recovered. He's back on.

29' Carvajal is down with an injury after clattering into Luisinho, and receives treatment. The Madrid right back makes a signal to the bench, which looks like he will be unable to continue.
