Real right-back Dani Carvajal goes down in pain as he chases the ball. He's OK to continue though and takes a throw-in.
Almost brilliant by Vinicius Jr, who shows great speed to bring the ball forward, but his pass out to Lucas Vazquez is just overhit.
The Brazilian is going to be an absolute star once he gets a bit more experience to improve his decision making. He already is a star to be fair.
Now Real Madrid almost score as a corner finds its way to Vinicius Jr. He thinks he's got time to take a touch before shooting, but it's cleared. Should have hit it first time.

Bet everyone at Chelsea wishes Thibaut Courtois had never left to be replaced by Kepa...
Levante striker Roger Marti has been so bright today and within 30 seconds of the restart he wriggles away from his marker in the box and has a shot saved by the feet of Thibaut Courtois.
The second half has started.
Ivan Perisic has just put Inter Milan 3-1 up against Fiorentina in Italy.
Karim Benzema has scored 11 La Liga goals this season. His past seven have been in the first half.
In France, struggling Monaco are 2-0 up against third-placed Lyon thanks to goals from Gelson Martins and Rony Lopes.
Well I say 'in France' but Monaco is a different country.
Levante 0-1 Real Madrid
Deafening whistles from the home fans - furious at the penalty award - as the half-time whistle goes.
Levante striker Roger Marti hits the post for a second time! Jose Campana plays Roger through on goal and his low effort from inside the area comes back off the woodwork.
The opposite post to the one he hit earlier on.
Karim Benzema
Sergio Ramos is banned today so Karim Benzema steps up to take it.
No Panenka as he just blasts it down to the right and the keeper goes the wrong way.
The referee deems that Enis Bardhi intentionally handled the ball and gives a penalty. He had put his arms up to protect his face. Maybe.
The referee goes across to the screen to have a look at it.
Luka Modric's cross hits the arms of Enis Bardhi on the edge of the box.
Now Vinicius Jr goes on a great jinking run into the box. But his final touch is poor, just not sure whether it was a miscontrolled dribble or an attempted cross and Aitor Fernandez holds onto it.
Toni Kroos has a crack for Levante but his shot from the edge of the box is pretty weak and easily saved.

Jose Campana clips a ball over the top for Levante towards Roger Marti. Real defender Raphael Varane gets a boot to it and it runs back to his keeper. The hosts are very bright.
