    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    It's all over.

    That's only five points from three games for Real.

    They are level...LEVEL... on points with Levante.

  2. STOPPAGE TIMEpublished at 90+3 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Toni Kroos hits the post!!!

    A 20-yard bending low shot clips the outside of the post.

    a few seconds left.

  3. RED CARD FOR MARCELOpublished at 89 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    When it rains...

    Marcelo fires a great low shot that is well saved by Raul.

    But in the aftermath he falls to the ground under the challenge of Jefferson Lerma and is judged to have kicked out at the Levante player. Straight red.

    Replays show that he did a tad.

    What happened to your radar Gareth Bale?

    Positioned well. Tick.

    Leaps above defender. Tick.

    Gets a perfect contact. Tick.

    Heads wide. Cross.

    Another Real chance.

    This time a delivery from the left is headed over by Nacho from 12 yards.

    He should have done better.

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    There is life!

    Isco charges forward and clips a ball into the area that is brilliantly flicked on to Marco Asensio by Gareth Bale.

    The Spain's striker's low effort is pushed away by Raul.

    Real have six minutes and a bit remaining.

    Squeaky.

    The last time Real failed to pick up a win from their opening two league games at home was back in 1995. When Take That were good!

    The final ball has been shocking from Real.

    At least since Isco came on, they've shown some invention but they don't look like league and European champions today.

    This game feels like it's petering out... and there's 12 minutes remaining.

    These 1pm kick-offs don't suit Real do they?

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Dani Carvajal's deflected shot from distance does not deflect enough to wrong foot Levante keeper Raul.

    Is it going to be his and his side's day?

    The tight marking from Levante is more than just admirable.

    However...this is a big however...Real have looked very 2D. There hasn't been much guile, and they've certainly missed the drive of Crissy Ron.

    There are about 16 mins remaining.

    Samuel Garcia comes on for Levante goalscorer Ivi.

    It wasn't a classic strike but it was at the Bernabeu.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 66 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Real's Dani Carvajal is shown yellow for going through Jefferson Lerma.

  13. Postpublished at 66 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Toni Kroos - who is playing ladies and gentleman - fires a low shot from 20 yards which bounces off the turf but is well held by keeper Raul.

    He's not really had a difficult early Saturday afternoon - talking about the Levante man.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Isco is on for Marcos Llorente. As expected.

  15. CLOSE!published at 62 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Another Bale chance goes wide!

    This time Lucas Vazquez leads a merry dance out wide and clips a cross into the area for the Wales international who heads over, once again.

    I sense a substitution...

  16. Postpublished at 61 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Marco Asensio, who's been a little quiet, tries a flick towards goal from Dani Carvajal's cross but keeper Raul collects.

    Promising from the Spanish youngster.

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Yet again, Levante clear. They've defended extremely well after those early flutters from corners.

    Time for Isco?

  18. Postpublished at 58 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    It's another corner for Real...

    And another... Asensio to take it.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 55 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Sergio Ramos is shown yellow for accidentally clipping Jefferson Lerma as he tried a spectacular effort in the Levante area from a corner.

    The Real defender is shown yellow. It was dangerous play, I guess.

  20. Postpublished at 53 mins

    Real Madrid 1-1 Levante

    Levante remain the Real half.

    Bale is back to clear a corner but the visitors continue to press in the 2pm hot Spanish sun.

    It's hard work for both teams out there.
