    Real are turning on the style as half-time looms.

    Karim Benzema controls the ball before digging out an early shot which flashes just wide before Casemiro goes even closer.

    Frankfurt need Michael Oliver to blow the whistle for the end of the first half.

    Just before taking the lead, Real went close through Vinícius Junior who cut inside the box before fizzing it towards the net only for Kevin Trapp to deflect it behind with his finger tips.

    David Alaba

    Just when Frankfurt thought they had a grip on this...

    Karim Benzema wins a header in the box but the ball is heading out when Casemiro nods it back into the path of David Alaba to poke home.

    Easy does it.

    Frankfurt will be pleased with this. They trailed Bayern Munich 4-0 at this stage in their previous match. They're standing toe-to-toe with the champions of Europe.

    By the way, Benzema for the Ballon d'Or? If he doesn't win it this time, he'll never win it.

    Good news for the Germans. Lenz is good to carry on after that accidental collision. Karim Benzema is looking a touch frustrated. He bagged a load of goals last season but very little has dropped for him in Helsinki so far.

    Apart from that clearance off the line to deny Vinicius Junior, Eintracht Frankfurt have not really been troubled.

    There's a break in play while Christopher Lenz receives treatment after a collision with Dani Carvajal.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Frankfurt don't look like a team that was thumped 6-1 on the opening day of the season. They've grown into this and it is Ansgar Knauff's turn to test Thibaut Courtois, who is the busier of the two keepers.

    It's not quite happening for Real. Another long punt forward to set Vinicius on his way but it is overcooked and Kevin Trapp easily gathers.

    Frankfurt need something positive to take out of tonight's game after that heavy beating by Bayern Munich. Of course everyone wants to win but a good performance is more important.

    Chances at both ends and an electric atmosphere. This certainly does not have the feel of a meaningless match. Both teams are up for it and want to leave with the Super Cup.

    Take a bow, Tuta!

    The Frankfurt player makes a superb clearance off the line to deny Vinicius Junior after a clever pass by Karim Benzema.

    That looked like it was a certain goal.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Huge chance for Frankfurt!

    Daichi Kamada has sight of goal but Courtois is able to make the save.

    That one would have counted had it gone in. Real's defence a little bit too relaxed there.

    Oh, wow.

    Jesper Lindstrom is clean through and takes aim before testing Thibaut Courtois who does well to beat his shot away.

    Then up goes the offside flag. It wouldn't have counted.

    Terrific support for the team from Germany in Finland. They haven't managed to get into Real's half too much so far but a big roar goes up each time a player in black has the ball at his feet.

    Corner to Real. Toni Kroos pings it into the box but it falls straight to a Frankfurt player standing on the edge of the box.

    A long punt forward tries to pick out Vinicius Junior but the young forward takes a slip and the chance is gone. Then Federico Valverde uses his pace to win a throw-in inside Frankfurt's half. Real are starting to get into their stride.
