  1. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    Better from Real Madrid now. Isco runs down the left and picks out Eden Hazard, who feeds Casemiro and the Brazilian drags his shot just wide from 25 yards.

  2. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    Real's first chance of the second half but Eden Hazard's drive from outside the box is held by the keeper.

  3. Get Involved

    Dan Pickering: Used to be a time I knew the Real Madrid defence by name - now it's a case of thing, thingy, the other one and Alba

    Um, that's actually 0/4

  4. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    The Frogs' (yes that is their nickname) great start to this half continues. Roger Marti air-kicks a cross but then gets a second chance. He gets this on target but Thibaut Courtois saves.

  5. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    As many shots for Levante in five minutes as in the first 45 as assister Gonzalo Melero smacks an effort in from 20 yards which hits a Real defender.

  6. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    Levante look a new team in the second half as they mount some more attacks. A great team talk from Paco Lopez.

  7. Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    That took 28 seconds to come.

    GOAL - Levante 1-1 Real Madrid

    Roger Marti

    Oh football.

    Real Madrid could have been 3-0 up at half-time and Levante are level within 30 seconds of the restart.

    Roger Marti runs onto a Gonzalo Melero through ball - not a defender in sight - and he smashes in a shot. Thibaut Courtois gets a fairly strong hand to it and it rolls agonisingly past the line.

  9. KICK-OFF

    Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    The second half starts.

  10. Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    The players are coming back out for the second half now.

  11. I could do with the second half starting soon. I've run out of chat.

  12. Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 32 La Liga matches when leading at half-time (W30 D2) dating back to 17 February 2019 against Girona.

  13. Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    For all Real Madrid's dominance, (11-2 on shots, 58% possession) Levante goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez hasn't actually made a save.

    Gareth Bale's goal was Real's only effort on target.

  16. HALF-TIME

    Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    The half-time whistle goes. Real Madrid are ahead - and it should be by more goals.

  17. Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    Eder Militao chests a cross back to Thibaut Courtois. No real action in injury time.

  18. INJURY TIME

    Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    Three minutes added on.

  19. Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid should be out of sight. Karim Benzema glances a header wide from a David Alaba cross. Actually he was offside.

  20. YELLOW CARD

    Levante 0-1 Real Madrid

    Levante's Gonzalo Melero is booked for fouling the lively Isco - who looks reborn under Carlo Ancelotti, like Gareth Bale.
