  1. YELLOW CARD

    Real right-back Dani Carvajal is booked. He took a free-kick too quickly.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Why not just make the subs at the same time? Alvaro Garcia replaces Bebe.

    Garcia is Rayo's joint second top scorer with season with four goals.

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Rayo make their first change. Mario Suarez, who has been excellent today, is replaced in midfield by Alvaro Medran - a former Real Madrid youngster.

  4. Barcelona decide to tweet this out just as their arch-rivals are losing to the team bottom of La Liga.

  5. SUBSTITUTION

    Isco comes on for Luka Modric, who hasn't had one of his better games.

    (That's a euphemism for he's played quite poorly).

  6. Rayo play route one to Bebe, who holds off Raphael Varane, but his cross is then caught by Thibaut Courtois. He didn't really have team-mates to aim for.

  7. Marcelo lifts a decent cross into the box but Brahim Diaz isn't expecting it and the chance is gone.

  8. Real Madrid send a few subs to warm up including Marco Asensio.

    I wonder if a manager without credit in the bank like Zinedine Zidane would be allowed to get away with some of these results at the end of the season.

  9. From the resulting corner Gareth Bale heads over the crossbar, his fifth effort of the night.

  10. Gareth Bale stands over this free-kick...

    it's a decent effort and palmed over the bar by the keeper. Not a bad shot but never really looked like it was going to be a goal.

  11. Brahim Diaz goes down from a Abdoulaye Ba and Real have a free-kick in shooting range.

  12. Jose Pozo picks out Bebe, who cut in and shoots high and wide. That lad loves a shot. Not many of them are particularly good though.

  13. Marcelo fouls Adrian Embarba and Rayo Vallecano have a free-kick. There are 25 minutes to go.

  14. YELLOW CARD

    Real striker Mariano Diaz gives Abdoulaye Ba a smash to the head with his arm and gets booked. The referee confusingly held the red card in his 'spare hand' before showing him the yellow. Keep the other card in your pocket Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes.

  15. I saw Real Madrid's game against Getafe the other day and Brahim Diaz was excellent. However by all accounts he's going to be loaned out next season.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid make their first change as former Manchester City youngster Brahim Diaz replaces Dani Ceballas.

    Toni Kroos is back on after his treatment.

  17. Real have been down to 10 men for a couple of minutes, Toni Kroos is still getting medical attention on the side of the pitch.

    Rayo have had the ball for ages. But Mario Suarez overhits a pass.

  18. Rayo Vallecano have lost all seven Madrid derbies in La Liga this season.

  19. Toni Kroos is getting treatment after an aerial clash with Mario Suarez. The German is getting some staples in his head I believe.

  20. Bebe hits a venomous shot from 25 yards out which Thibaut Courtois does well to turn wide.
