FT: Levante 1 - 3 Real Madrid

59' CLOSE! Levante almost equalised there! Lopes sends in a wonderful low cross which is just centimetres away from Deyverson's outstretched leg. Levante have really played well today and they are unlucky to be trailing here

54' BLOCKBUSTER SHOT! Ronaldo sends a pass into the path of Nacho of all people who sends a wonderfully struck shot towards goal from 35 yards. It is parried behind for a corner by the Levante gk. Great shot and great save!

52' CLOSE! James shows some lovely skill to make some space for himself and unleashes a wonderful left footed curling shot which goes inches wide!

HT : Levante 1 - 2 Real Madrid

43' Pepe hacks away another Levante cross as the hosts pile on the pressure late on in the first half. The Portuguese defender has been called into action a few times in the opening period, which will no doubt frustrate Zidane.

42' Finally some time to breathe after a franctic five minutes. Time to catch my breath here

38' GOOOOOAAALLL!!! Levante score this time! They strike back immediately through Deyverson! Rossi gets the assist. It was just a long ball punted forward hopefully, bad defending there from Real Madrid though the Madrid players protested in vain for a foul in the build up

37' GOOOOOAAALLLLLL! Its the youngster Mayoral who contributes to the goal. I think it will be an own goal. Mayoral strikes a thunderous shot from outside the box which hits the post and rebounds of the goal keeper back into the net!

14 - @Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in his 13 appearances against Levante in all competitions. Nightmare.

26' CLOSE! Cristiano Ronaldo heads a James corner just above the bar. The game is opening up a bit and this will suit Real Madrid

23' Levante manage to create their first half chance for a while as Ivan Lopez slips in Lerma down the right-hand side. The latter wastes little time as he curls in a quick cross towards Deyverson, who again struggles to get to the ball as Pepe shuts the door on him with a good clearance
