  1. Espanyol 1-1 Real Madrid

    Since the beginning of 2016-17, only Luis Suarez has netted as many La Liga goals against Real Madrid as Joselu (seven each).

  2. HALF-TIME

    Espanyol 1-1 Real Madrid

    The half-time whistle goes and Espanyol and Real Madrid are level.

  3. Espanyol 1-1 Real Madrid

    Joselu has scored seven goals in nine appearances in La Liga against Real Madrid.

    He's a summer signing from Alaves. He actually played for Real Madrid once in 2010-11.

    GOAL - Espanyol 1-1 Real Madrid

    Joselu

    This has been Espanyol's best spell of the game and they take advantage of it.

    Joselu holds off Eder Militao to run onto a throguh ball. His shot is saved by Thibaut Courtois and hits the back of Militao before landing back to Joselu, who slots home.

  5. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Antonio Rudiger has to be alert to stop Joselu, who burst into the box for Espanyol.

    There's a huge chance from the corner as Leandro Cabrera glances a header wide of the far post.

  6. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Real keeper Thibaut Courtois is called into action for the first time and it's a good diving save to keep out a long-range drive from Vinicius Souza.

  7. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    A Real corner is played to Toni Kroos and his curling shot is deflected over.

  8. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Real have a free-kick on the right wing. Toni Kroos to take. Karim Benzema's volley bounces into the turf and is harmless.

  9. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Another chance for Vinicius Jr. The ball lands to him on the corner of the box but he curls his shot over the bar.

  10. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Espanyol's Oscar Gil is lucky to avoid a yellow card for barging Vinicius Jr out of play after the ball had gone.

  11. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Sublime by Vinicius, who wins the ball on the edge of his box and dances between two defenders before getting fouled.

  12. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    David Alaba plays a very risky ball across his own penalty area but Real escape. Well with a corner.

    Ruben Sanchez heads over from the corner.

  13. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    First chance for Espanyol as Sergi Darder blasts well over from about 30 yards out.

    Eder Militao was out of position because he'd run forward and then Real lost the ball.

  14. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Almost a second for Vinicius Jr. He races onto a Federico Valverde ball and no defender has a hope of catching him but his shot is parried over by Benjamin Lecomte.

    Antonio Rudiger misses from the corner.

  15. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid have had 78.6% possession so far. They have a corner. It comes to not much.

  17. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    That was Vinicius Jr's second goal of the season. Last term he bagged 22 in all competitions.

    At just 22, he will challenge for Ballons d'Or one day.

    Real Madrid have avoided defeat in their last 34 matches when scoring the opening goal in La Liga dating back to 9 February 2021 against Getafe.

  19. Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Jr finds Karim Benzema now and the French striker's shot is blocked for a corner.

  20. goal

    GOAL - Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid

    Vinicius Jr

    Now he does...

    Aurelien Tchouameni has a nice one-two outside the box and then plays a one-look through ball into Vinicius Jr.

    Vinicius sees the keeper come off his line and strokes a first-time shot into the back of the net.
