That just about sums up Real's half.

Karim Benzema's crossfield pass towards Luka Modric is overhit and sails out of play on the opposite flank.

Modric shoots his team-mate a withering glance.

Karim Benzema almost releases Ferland Mendy with a gorgeous first-time pass but David Soria is quick off his line to smother the ball.

Real Madrid have had 81% possession so far, but they have only tested Getafe goalkeeper David Soria on one occasion.

Ten minutes of the first half remaining.

Another Karim Benzema shot takes a deflection off a Getafe defender and rolls out for a corner.

Real take it quickly and work it to Toni Kroos, whose effort is also blocked.

Getafe are still holding on.

Mathias Olivera surges forward down the left before attempting to pick out Sandro, but Ferland Mendy is on hand to clear the danger.

The visitors have a free-kick in a dangerous area on the right.

Toni Kroos's delivery is headed out for a corner, which is also cleared.

Here come Getafe on the counter...

Karim Benzema almost picks out Rodrygo in the Getafe area but the hosts manage to clear the danger.

It wouldn't have counted anyway - Benzema was offside in the build-up.

Now it's Karim Benzema's turn to try his luck from a promising position, but the Frenchman's strike from the edge of the box is high, wide and not very handsome.

The first booking of the game goes to Rodrygo for a robust challenge on Getafe captain Damian Suarez.

Carlo Ancelotti doesn't look best pleased.

Real are knocking at the door.

Lucas Vazquez runs on to Luka Modric's flick-on before picking out the unmarked Toni Kroos inside the Getafe area.

The German has to hit the target but sidefoots his effort wide of the mark.

So close to a Real equaliser!

Rodrygo and Karim Benzema combine brilliantly on the left before the 20-year-old tees up Modric, who rattles the crossbar with a thunderous left-footed drive.

That's much more like it from a Real perspective.

Luka Modric collects the ball on the corner of the penalty area and curls a gorgeous effort towards the far corner which flies just wide of the post.

What on earth are Real doing?

David Alaba's backpass almost sells Thibaut Courtois short but the Belgian manages to beat Enes Unal to the ball.

The goalkeeper's clearance falls straight to Nikola Maksimovic, whose effort from the edge of the box is tame and rolls into the arms of Courtois.

The visitors are all over the place at the back.

What a start for Getafe! They barely had a kick in the opening 10 minutes but find themselves a goal to the good.

Can Carlo Ancelotti's side respond?

Almost an opening for Real as Karim Benzema dispossesses Mauro Arambarri on the edge of the penalty area, but the referee blows for a Getafe free-kick.

The hosts might have been a tad fortunate there.

Eder Militao tries to pick out Rodrygo with a raking crossfield pass but the forward's touch is loose and Getafe manage to clear.

Getafe are happy to let the visitors have the ball in the opening minutes.

Carles Alena goes flying into Luka Modric, getting a touch of the ball but sending the Real midfielder tumbling to the floor.

The hosts are up for this.

The league leaders get us under way.

Here come the teams. Kick-off is just a few moments away...
