    Real Madrid 1-0 Real Sociedad

    I think I'm safe to say Real Madrid won't be scoring 10 today - as they did last time out. However, Rafael Benitez's team will be going top of the table if the score stays like this - if only for a couple of hours.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Real Sociedad

    They might be leading but it says everything about Real Madrid's first half performance that there are whistles from some home fans as the players head for the dressing room.

    It goes from bad to worse for Sociedad. Having fallen victim to a dodgy penalty decision, the visitors have now lost midfielder Sergio Canales after the player pulled up with no one around him. His replacement is Ruben Pardo.

    Despite missing badly from the spot earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo insists on taking the second penalty - and blasts home. It brings a smile from Rafael Benitez for the first time this afternoon.

    Astonishing. Real Madrid win a second penalty as Gareth Bale's cross hits a Sociedad knee and deflects on to an arm. Very harsh!

    Luka Modric and Karim Benzema both test the keeper within a minute but both are tame efforts. Where is the desire? Real Madrid are playing like a team with nothing to play for.

    More whistles from the home fans as Real Sociedad go close. A header from Jonathas falls just wide. More arm flinging from Benitez.

    This is a stinker of a game. Sociedad are getting plenty behind the ball and are happy to attack on the counter. Real are struggling to create chances and now the fans are jeering.

    Where next for Rafael Benitez?

    It's all very slack from Real Madrid. Their promising early start seems an age away. Rafael Benitez is pacing his technical area barking instructions. He's looking a little flustered.

    Wow. Ronaldo would have joined Luis Suarez on 13 La Liga goals if that had gone in but his penalty was far too casual. Benitez looks furious - and no wonder.

    After creating three great chances in the opening eight minutes, the hosts have gone quiet.Groans from the home fans as Luka Modric's attempted cross into the penalty area does not get past the first man.

    That's the end of Imanol Agirretxe. The 12-goal striker will not be returning and midfielder Bruma is coming on. Huge setback for the visitors.

    Big blow for Real Sociedad. Leading scorer Imanol Agirretxe lands heavily after colliding with Keylor Navas. He is carried off on a stretcher for treatment but it is not looking good. Sociedad are down to 10 men.
