Well. Real have to watch that they don't get caught out on the break.

On this occasion, Alex Alegria fires in a low shot that is easily collected by Kiko Casilla.

Sergio Ramos has just taken one in the mush.

Or was it. Alex Alegria's arm appears to catch the Real defender in the chest.

It's when the defender goes down he hurts his face.

Anyway, it's a yellow for the Levante man, which seems a bit harsh.

Real get us back under way.

It's still sunny in Madrid. The weather spoils our Spanish brothers and sisters.

The players are back in the tunnel.

How do you see this going?

I can very much see Isco coming on after his worldie of a display against Italy.

Anyway, it's 1-1 at the moment. If it ends in a draw then both teams will have five points from three games.

By tomorrow, it might be mid-table obscurity for Real.

Tavira Dog: My Levante season ticket cost me €165 last year, went to 22 of the 23 games, so they gave me a free season ticket this year!

Tbf the half ended well for Real.

Bale-o had a couple of chances, and Levante look weak on corners.

The visitors will be camped in their own half for much of the next 45 mins. Hope they bring the marshmallows to toast.

Nacho goes all Tom Brady and floats a long pass into the path of Bale.

The Wales man's poked effort on the angle just goes wide of Raul's far post.

It's Gaz Bale who gets his head on the ball after the initial corner is played back into the area by Marcelo.

However, the Welsh attacker cannot direct the cross past the Levante keeper.

Real are desperately seeking another before the oranges.

It's another corner then another.

Watch Ramos! Watch Ramos!

Real Madrid have a corner.

Ramos and Bale will be salivating.

Those with a GCSE in football time management can see there are 11 minutes-plus-stoppage until HT.

Real don't look like getting one before the break. Zidane might need to tweak.

Levante have a free-kick in, what is universally known as, "a dangerous position".

Goalscorer Ivi steps up and bends a brilliant ball which drifts an inch or two wide of Kiko Casilla's near post.

Decent strike.

Bale almost gets on the end of a long punt downfield from Marcelo.

He was a size 11 away from poking that past the Levante keeper.

Gaz Bale is on for the injured Benzema.

A decent replacement.

Real are a player down at the moment with Benzema off the pitch with what looks like a leg muscle issue.

They're not quite feeling this one yet, are Real Madrid?

They did have more players on international duty than Levante had.

As an aside.... there are 17 Spanish players on the pitch.

Levante's Ivan Lopez is hobbling.

He's been replaced by Pedro Lopez.

Mr I Lopez was the player who launched that Steve Watson-esque throw-in for the goal.

He will be missed.

Real look to bite back.

This time Marcelo and Theo Hernandez play a one-two, but Levante keeper Raul spots the danger early - dashing out to collect the ball at the feet of the Real left-back.
