  1. Thanks for joining me today. That's the end of this live page now.

    See you next time.

  2. FULL-TIME

    Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Real Madrid

    It's all over. Bottom club Rayo Vallecano have stunned their more illustrious neighbours.

  3. Rayo almost have another chance but Alvaro Garcia's cross is deflected by Jesus Vallejo back to his keeper. Seconds left.

  4. About 90 seconds left as Thibaut Courtois launches a goalkick upfield.

  5. Alejandro Galvez properly boots the ball 50 yards out of play like that old English beer advert. No attempt to do anything else with it.

  6. YELLOW CARD

    Uche Agbo fouls Brahim Diaz, it's a kick from behind, and gets booked.

    Diaz is getting really riled up and Marcelo has to calm his young team-mate down.

  7. Javi Guerra gets an accidental Marcelo shoulder to the back and goes down. More time gone.

  8. Toni Kroos needed treatment and there were six subs. But six minutes seems a lot.

  9. INJURY TIME

    Six minutes added on. Whistles from the home fans at that decision.

  10. Uche Agbo gets some treatment as Rayo eat time up.

  11. Toni Kroos decides to cross from the free-kick and it's headed away. Total waste.

  12. Free-kick to Real Madrid that nobody was really expecting as Brahim Diaz goes down. Shooting range.

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Real left-back Marcelo is booked for a foul in the build-up to that attack.

  14. Rayo have a chance for a second. Unfortunately it's 37-year-old Javi Guerra who goes past Thibaut Courtois and Jesus Vallejo clears his shot off the line. A quicker striker may have done better.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Rayo make a final change but it's not to shore things up. Oscar Trejo replaces fellow attacking midfielder Jose Pozo.

  16. Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their three La Liga home matches since the return of Paco Jemez last month.

    Real Madrid are winless in their three La Liga away fixtures since Zinedine Zidane's return.

  17. Gareth Bale goes back to centre forward with that change. But Rayo have the ball and Toni Kroos puts it out for a throw-in.

  18. In 2013 Spain-born Mariano Diaz won a cap for the Dominican Republic. But then, presumably after realising he might one day be good enough for Spain, he never played for them again.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    Real make their final switch. Lucas Vazquez replaces Mariano up front.

  20. This has been so uninspiring from Real Madrid. Not too many of these guys are doing much to convince Zinedine Zidane they're worth keeping.
