And that additional 60 seconds passes quietly. Nothing to report until the referee toots his whistle to signal half-time. Cristiano Ronaldo looks up to the sky in bemusement. He doesn't know how he hasn't moved closer to becoming Real Madrid's all-time scorer.

The fourth official hoists up his hi-tech electronic board to reveal there will be one minute of added time.

Can Madrid nick an opener before the break? Almost. Karim Benzema muscles his way into a decent position but prods agonisingly wide.

Whooosh! Cristiano Ronaldo shows unbelievable tekkers to thump a first-time, angled volley at the Malaga goal. It cracks the post and half of the Bernabeu think it has gone in. It hasn't. Ronaldo's effort thumped the post to the right of the woodwork which holds up the net. Close but not close enough.

Malaga aren't scared of the mighty Madrid. Norden Amrabat surges down the right flank again, pinging in another low cross that is intended for team-mate Juan Carlos. The former Real Madrid kid bravely challenges home keeper Keylor Navas but comes off second best.

Quality goalkeeping from Carlos Kameni in the Malaga goal. He wanders off his line as Toni Kroos lofts in a deep right-wing corner. Ooooh has he come too far? No! The Cameroonian stretches every muscle in his body to grab hold of the high ball.

Jese is proving a handful for the Malaga defence, constantly stretching them with his pace. Back on the right flank, another centre is met by the head of Cristiano Ronaldo. Surely he has to hit the target this time? Nope.

Rafa Benitez drags himself out of his comfy Bernabeu chair to offer some words of encouragement to his players from the touchline. And he is pointing. A lot.

Malaga keper Carlos Kameni is certainly being made to work for his weekly wage packet now. The Cameroon international needs to be light on his toes again as Cristiano Ronaldo springs forward. The Madrid forward sends a low strike scuttling along towards goal, Kameni getting down low to block. Another fine save.

Madrid have woken up after that shock, pressing forward again through Jese. He has moved over to the left, taking on a defender with a stepover or three before shooting low, then drawing another save out of Malaga keeper Carlos Kameni.

Malaga, who haven't even scored in La Liga this season, look a threat on the counter to Madrid's relatively inexperienced centre-back pairing of Nacho and Raphael Varane. Nordin Amrabat stretches the home defence down the right channel, drilling a cross low to the far post. But Juan Carlos cannot convert. Chance gone.

Cristiano Ronaldo pulls out to the right touchline, sticking some white paint on his studs. He whips a dangerous cross into the mixer, but Karim Benzema is about a yard offside.

Real Madrid back on the attack, with Cristiano Ronaldo unsurprisingly in the thick of the action. The bronzed one nips across to the front post, but cannot bend his neck enough to divert Jese's right-wing cross towards the Malaga net.

Referee Jose Luis González González - so good that they named him twice - sticks his hand in his top pocket for the first time tonight. He pulls out a yellow card and dishes it in the direction of Malaga's former Real right-back Miguel Torres for some backchat.

Malaga have settled into their rhythm nicely after that helter skelter Madrid start. The purple-shirted visitors knock the ball around confidently in their own half, before lively Morocco forward Nordin Amrabat almost latches on to a precise throughball. Warning signs for Madrid.

Jese sees a bit of lush Bernabeu grass open up in front of him. That allows the Spain international to swing in a cross towards Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema, who is just beaten to the delivery by a Malaga defender.

Few groans from the expectant Bernabeu crowd as Luka Modric hurriedly smashes a cross-field Hollywood pass towards Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was offside and the ball sailed over his head anyway. Double trouble. Madrid have lost their patience a little bit in the last few moments.

More Malaga pressure as the Bernabeu becomes a little edgy. Nordin Amrabat  tries his luck from a long way out, only to see his effort blocked by a white shirt. Ambitious.

Malaga are back of the ropes, staggering into the contest and now trying to land a couple of blows of their own. Another away corner is pinged to the far post, where Nacho flicks clear the danger.

A couple of chances in quick succession for Real Madrid's Isco, who looks desperate to make an impression on the game against his former club today. Sporting a new shaved-head look, he almost gets on the end of another Marcelo cross, then wastefully lashes over from distance.
