    GOAL - Valencia 1-1 Real Madridpublished at 34 mins

    Carlos Soler

    No mistake this time from Carlos Soler!

    Thibaut Courtois gets a touch to the retaken spot-kick but it's too powerful to keep out.

    Valencia are back on level terms.

    Hang on!

    The referee is checking the penalty again on his monitor.

    Was Yunus Musah encroaching in the box when Carlos Soler took the penalty?

    Yunus Musah

    What on earth?

    Carlos Soler's attempt is saved by Thibaut Courtois, the ball rebounds to Soler who then hits the post and Yunus Musah smashes it into the net at the third time of asking.

    Valencia 0-1 Real Madrid

    Karim Benzema has had 24 touches. He's had two attempts on target, scored an outstanding goal and created another chance.

    Valencia need to change something.

    They're not creating anything and Thibaut Courtois has hardly had anything to do.

    Karim Benzema

    What was I saying about this not being a classic?

    Well, that was certainly a classic finish by Karim Benzema.

    He wraps his foot around the ball about 20 yards out and it flies past the diving Jaume Domenech.

    A very special finish

    This isn't a classic.

    Approaching the halfway point of the half. Two attempts on target in the game so far - both falling to Real.

    No doubt about it, Real are finding some rhythm. Valencia have spent the past few minutes stuck in their own half but they're pretty organised at the back and are soaking up the pressure.

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Loads of movement from Real and Luka Modric is already having an influence on the game. He's EVERYWHERE. Modric sends in a corner and it's met by Karim Benzema but straight at the keeper.

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Luka Modric is sent sprawling by Uros Racic. Free-kick all day long. Then Modric has the first serious shot of the game - Jaume Domenech is down to beat it away. Not sure that would have counted had it gone in. A flag went up quickly.

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Marco Asensio has a pop from about 20 yards after finding space. It's low, hard - and wide.

  14. Postpublished at 9 mins

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    First glimpse of goal for Karim Benzema but Hugo Guillamon goes in where it hurts and it's cleared.

    Benzema then tries to create space for himself inside the penalty area but loses his balance.

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Encouraging move by Valencia as Denis Cheryshev darts down the wing and delivers a cross which is just about scrambled clear.

    A positive start. The hosts have settled quickly.

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Valencia win the game's first corner. It's a comfortable collect for Thibaut Courtois. Real power forward...

  17. Postpublished at 3 mins

    Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid

    Real are playing with Karim Benzema, 20-year-old Vinícius Junior and Marco Asensio in attack. They're playing a high press but Valencia are calm and composed as they play a series of short and neat passes inside their own half.

    Real are in pink, Valencia in their traditional white and black.

    The teams are on their way out. Normally there are 40,000-plus waiting to greet the players as they emerge from the tunnel.

    The Mestalla looks oh so lonely, and a bit eerie, without any fans in it.
