Real Madrid vs Valencia, Live Score and Commentary, La Liga 2016-17

FT: Real Madrid 2-1 Valencia

90+4' Garay gives away a silly foul on Morata, clattering into him from behind, which should be game over...

90+3' Lucas Vazquez comes on to replace Luka Modric, which should see Asensio move to the middle, as Zidane attempts to run down the clock.

90+2' Valencia have a corner late on, with Carvajal unable to prevent the ball from going out. Parejo to take....

Navas does brilliantly to tower above the rest and pluck the ball out from the rain.

90' 4 minutes of injury time.

90' What a waste! Asensio does brilliantly with a measured touch, playing the ball to Morata on the edge of the box, but the Spanish striker makes a mess of the move with an overhit chipped ball to Carvajal on the overlap.

89' Orellana is replaced by Bakkali for Valencia

88' Real Madrid seem to have killed Valencian hearts, as the players are chasing shadows across the pitch. Casemiro feels brave enough to get into the picture, charging up the middle but his long-range effort is blocked.

86' WHAT. A. GOAL! Marcelo gets the ball on the left edge of the box, before cutting inside on his right foot, and shooting an unstoppable low drive into the far bottom corner to send the Bernabeu wild! Real Madrid 2-1 Valencia

86' GOOAAAL MARCELOOOOOOO!

85' Toni Lato makes way for Jose Gaya, back from his injury.

84' CHANCE! Marcelo sends a low cross into the box from the left, but it is narrowly behind Asensio charging into the box. Real Madrid have been the best team in Europe when it comes to late goals this season, can they do it again?

82' DISASTER FOR REAL MADRID! Dani Parejo sends a stunning free-kick right into the top corner, with Keylor Navas doing superbly to even get a hand to it - but there was no stopping that. Real Madrid 1-1 Valencia!

82' GOOOAAALLL DANI PAREJOOOO!

81' Casemiro escapes a second yellow yet again! What's his secret?

He clatters into the back of Orellano on the edge of the box, but the referee keeps his cards in his pocket. Modric then gets involved and gets booked for dissent!

79' Lato is back on the pitch after some treatment.

78' HOW DID HE MISS?! Marco Asensio sends in a low, bouncing cross from the left into the box. Ronaldo arrives at the far post, with the ball coming off his chest and out for a goal kick, but the Portuguese star's momentum carries him into the post, along with Lato. Real Madrid's talisman gets up after a bit of treatment, although Lato looks worse off.

77' Morata goes into the book for a late sliding challenge from behind on Carlos Soler.

76' CHANCE! Asensio wins the ball back in Valencia's half, before spreading it to Ronaldo on the left edge of the box. The Portuguese star unfairly squared the ball to Morata in the centre, but the Spanish striker responds with a horrible air-kick.

75' Valencia have attempted to send in crosses from the left twice in quick succession, but Navas does well both times to collect the ball and snuff out the danger. It's been a good display from the Real Madrid custodian so far.

73' Marco Asensio makes his first contribution to the game, running down the left wing before sending in a low cross on the counter, but the referee pulls play back for offside.

72' Karim Benzema goes off to be replaced by Alvaro Morata.

70' CHANCE! Rodrigo nearly scores with his first touch of the game. The striker runs on to a hopeful long ball from the right and connects with his head, but his header is well wide of the goal.

69' Whistles ring out at the Bernabeu as Nani slowly trudges off to be replaced by Rodrigo Moreno

68' Oh dear. Marcelo does brilliantly to get past Montoya twice, but makes a hash of the cross with his right foot, with the delivery going into the opposite wing.

66' James Rodriguez is replaced by Marco Asensio

65' Better luck next time, James! The Colombian hammers his free-kick straight into the wall, with the ball going into Alves' arms.

64' Modric charges through the middle and is tripped by Mangala on the edge of the box, earning him a yellow card. Ronaldo and James step up to take it...

63' What a waste! Modric plays a beautiful ball through to James, who backheels the ball into Benzema's path. With Ronaldo making a great run down the left wing, the Frenchman ignores him and blasts his shot well over the bar.

61' Ronaldo and Marcelo exchange passes on the left side of the box, before the Portuguese star attempts to make amends by cutting inside and getting a shot off on goal. Montoya reads his mind and gets a block, which deflects the ball out of danger.

58' Real Madrid are on a 4-on-4 counter attack, but James wastes the chance by ignoring Benzema and Ronaldo on either side, opting to go for goal himself. The Colombian's long range effort is well over the bar.

57' SAVE DIEGO ALVES!!!! HE'S DONE IT AGAIN - 26 saves from 53 penalties!

Ronaldo went low to Alves' left and the Valencia keeper reads it well to make the save and get to the rebound. Ronaldo has only scored 1 of the 4 penalties he has taken against Diego Alves.

55' PENALTY TO REAL MADRID! PAREJO FOULS MODRIC IN THE BOX. Ronaldo to take... but it is Diego Alves

55' OOOOH WHAT A SUPERB PIECE OF SKILL FROM BENZEMA! He catches the ball and cuts inside past his marker, but watches in agony as his curled effort crashes off the post.

52' Now now, Casemiro gets a bit naughty while preventing Munir from counter-attacking. He holds on to the Valencia forward's shorts, with things getting a little cheeky - the Brazilian gets a yellow card for his troubles. No surprise there, as Valencia proceed to waste the free-kick.

51' Casemiro is down holding his ankle after tangling with Nani, who appears to have had a kick out at the Brazilian off the ball. The referee missed that - and that's something for La Liga's disciplinary to ponder.

49' Garay and Mangala hold firm as Benzema, Kroos and Modric attempt to burst through the middle. The Valencia centre-backs also do well to prevent a cross from Carvajal in the following seconds.

47' Real Madrid are on the attack right from the off - Ronaldo lays the ball off to James on the left wing, but the Colombian's attempt to pick out Benzema in the box with a cutback is underhit.

46' AND WE'RE OFF! Valencia get us underway, kicking off from right to left!

The teams have gradually made their way back out onto the pitch - Kickoff in the second half is moments away!

HT: Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

44' CHANCE! Munir channels his Barcelona credentials, moving past Nacho and Modric on the edge of the box, before curling a well-hit effort wide of the far post with the instep of his left foot.

43' Toni Lato does superbly to prevent Real Madrid from setting off on another attack.

RECORD: Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored more goals in Europe’s top six leagues than any other player in history (367). He's gone past Jimmy Greaves on 366.

40' To give you an idea of Real Madrid's domination after the goal, we've just witnessed a pattern of play with 21 players in Valencia's half for a good 90-second spell. The move ends when Marcelo floats a cross into the box with his right foot, and Mangala clears with his head.

37' CASEMIROOOO! Oh no!

With Ronaldo in acres of space on the left side of the box as Valencia looked lackadaisical while returning from a counter, all Casemiro has to do is measure his pass to the Portuguese star, but he makes a mess of it - thundering it into Ronaldo. Madrid's talisman almost gets a toe on it, but it's not enough to control the ball and goes out for a goal kick.

33' Garay makes a vital clearance as Modric and Benzema exchange passes on the edge of the box, with the Frenchman threatening to burst clear into the box. Valencia's defensive partnership has been mostly good, except for that one moment when they fell asleep for the opening goal. That's football for you...

31' Real Madrid set off on the counter attack with Benzema and Toni Kroos, but the German's cross is cleared out for a corner. Madrid send in the set-piece, but the delivery curled out of play.

29' Nacho concedes a foul on the edge of the box, fouling Santi Mina needlessly. Nani looks favourite to take it, while Navas organizes his wall. Parejo eventually took it, with his effort going off Ramos' head out for a corner. He takes the resulting set-piece too, with Navas collecting at the far post.

27' WHO ELSE BUT HIM?! Dani Carvajal has all the space in the world to send in a cross, and he duly obliges, curving a beautiful ball into the box. Ronaldo ghosts between Mangala and Garay before sending a towering downward header past Diego Alves to score his 20th La Liga goal of the season. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

This goal was Real Madrid's 150th goal of the season, in all competitions. They are also now 3 short of Bayern Munich's record of scoring in 61 consecutive games.
