Real are really knocking at the door now.

Vinicius Junior goes close to getting his second of the match but he drags his effort just wide.

It's Luka Modric who is lighting up the Real attack. There's no sign he's slowing down.

Karim Benzema hits the post!

There's a mistake at the back from Levante which allows Benzema to pick up the ball and by his standards he'll be rather annoyed he didn't sneak that into the bottom corner.

The corner is headed clear but falls to Ferland Mendy on the edge of the area.

He is allowed time to weigh up his actions and sends a cross into that 'corridor' of uncertainty in front of the goalkeeper, but Levante are able to clear their lines again.

Nope, as you were.

Real Madrid have their first corner of the match.

Hold on...

The referee is now holding his ear piece.

Is someone telling him he might want to take a second look at that?

Luka Modric goes down in the penalty area under a challenge from Enis Bardhi but the referee isn't interested in that one.

Off we go again.

The players are heading back out onto the pitch now, ready to get this second half under way.

Do Levante sense the visitors might be there for the taking, or can Real consolidate their advantage and seal a third successive win?

Real have won their last two La Liga games against, Valladolid and Real Betis, following their opening goalless draw with Real Sociedad.

Betis, Sociedad and Villarreal lie above them but they have all played two games more.

Of course, only six points separate Levante, in the final relegation spot currently, from top at this very, very early stage.

Real are heading back to the top of La Liga as things stand.

They're one of four teams yet to be beaten this season, along with Barcelona, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.

We'll also have live text coverage of Barcelona v Sevilla (20:00 BST) later this evening.

The whistle goes for the interval.

Vinicius Junior's well-taken goal is the difference so far.

Levante are ending the half with a flurry.

The hosts earn a corner and work it neatly before delivering a belated cross, but nobody can add a finishing touch.

It looks like we'll just have one added minute at the end of this half.

Jose Luis Morales is inches away from a leveller!

A cross is swung in from the left and Morales is dipping to meet it but the ball instead travels untouched across the face of Thibaut Courtois' goal.

Real are going after a second before the interval.

But a poorly defended corner aside, Levante continue to answer all the questions Real ask of them.

Casemiro storms towards the Levante penalty area and chips a delightful pass towards the back post, where Marco Asensio is waiting but can't keep his header down.

The two sides of Casemiro's game on perfect display there, first wrestling back possession and then the quality pass.

He's such a key cog in this Real side.

Real have their fifth corner of the game, which is floated in once again by Luka Modric but Levante do much better at the back this time and the cross is headed clear.

In case you were wondering, former Chelsea star Eden Hazard remains unavailable for Real for this one and is not among those on the bench.

Hazard is yet to feature this season, as injuries continue to plague his Real career.

Jose Campana's corner is blocked at the front post, allowing the winger another chance to cross.

Corner number two is headed out for a third corner, which Nikola Vukcevic... heads off the bar!

He beats Nacho in the air at the back post and that is very close to being the equaliser.

As I write that, of course, Raphael Varane sprints to cut-out a pass for Jose Campana who *might* have just touched the ball inside the box before Varane came storming across to deal with the threat.

Levante come again and the hosts have their first corner of the match.

Nothing much to shout about from a Levante perspective so far.

Paco Lopez' side are yet to register a shot on target or even a touch in the Real penalty area as we reach the midway point of the first half.

It's so far, so good for Zinedine Zidane's men.
