Almost a chance for Villarreal but Nacho clears it out of his six-yard box.

Dani Ceballos pulls the arm of Samuel Chukwueze and Villarreal have a free-kick in a good position.

Marco Asensio sends it back in and Nacho heads wide. Should have scored really.

Madrid win a free-kick right at the end of the half. Should be time to get it into the box.
