90+2' OFF THE POST! IT IS JUST NOT HIS DAY! Carvajal sends in a great cross from the right wing, and Benzema towers above his marker to power a great header that looks destined to nestle in the net, only for Neto to pull off a stunning save and divert the ball onto the post and out of danger!
88' HOW DID HE MISS THAT!!! Carvajal sends a low cross into the box that finds Asensio, whose shot is brilliantly blocked by Nacho Gil, but the ball ricochets off his back perfectly for Benzema. With the goal at his mercy, Benzema sends his shot wide of the goal, much to the Bernabeu's and Zidane's agony.
87' HOW DID THEY NOT SCORE! Asensio leaves Soler for dead with a stunning run down the left wing, before sending a perfect low cross to the near post, where Benzema and Mayoral get in each other's way to ensure that the chance is missed.
86' SO CLOSE! Modric swings in a cross to the far post, where Casemiro acrobatically tries to lob the ball into the opposite corner, only to watch it go wide of the post.
81' Rodrigo goes into the book for a trip on Kovacic right on the edge of the box. Asensio looks to be taking the free kick....with time being wasted as Lato goes down saying that he cannot continue.
80' Great block! Lucas Vazquez plays a low ball to Carvajal making a clever run to the near post, but Vezo slides in to deny him from getting his shot on goal off.
77' SILENCE IN THE BERNABEU! Rodrigo spreads the ball wide to Lato, who sends a low cross back, and the Valencia frontman turns, holds the ball up superbly before laying the ball back to Kondogbia on the edge of the box. The midfielder sweeps the ball home with a calm left footed finish into the bottom corner and score his first Valencia goal!
74' Gareth Bale is replaced by Lucas Vazquez, with the Welshman coming off to a mixed reception. The Bernabeu are a demanding lot, aren't they, Gareth?
73' BRILLIANT SAVE! Parejo opts for the far corner with a gorgeous free-kick that looked destined to tip just below the bar, only for Navas' strong hand to tip the ball out for a corner.
72' Carvajal concedes a foul on Gaya on the left channel, just a few yards away from the box. This is the same place that Parejo scored from last year.....
71' CHANCE! Carlos Soler whips in a great ball from the right wing, and Zaza sends his headed effort at the near post over the bar. The Italian ought to have done much better there.
69' SUPERB DEFENDING FROM CASEMIRO! Rodrigo finds the ball in space on the left side of the box, and a ball to Zaza would have been a certain goal, only for Casemiro to get himself in the way and deny him.
Madrid set off on the counter, with Carvajal swinging in a great corner, only for Asensio to be inches away.
67' SAVE! Modric hammers a low drive from a central position on the edge of the box, and Neto gets down well to his left to make a superb save and concede a corner. Nothing promising is created from the set-piece.
