A very good evening and welcome to live text commentary of AJ Auxerre against Real Madrid in Group G. Both sides will be looking for the win tonight so we could be in line for a belter.

PEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Indeed that is it. Real Madrid left it late but it's another three points and in this group that could be vital. In tonight's other Group G clash it finished

That must surely be it.

CHANCE FOR AUXERRE!! Jelen gets lucky inside the box then drags a poor attempt wide of the far post.

Last throw of the dice for Auxerre. But Madrid are calmly playing down the clock.

Four additional minutes.

Not long now. Auxerre just don't appear to be clever enough to conjure an opportunity. But there's still time.

SUB FOR AUXERRE: Julien Quercia replaces Kamel Chafni

Madrid are happy to hit Auxerre on the break now.

SUB FOR REAL MADRID: Mahamadou Diarra replaces Gonzalo Higuaín

CAUTION: Alain Traore of Auxerre cautioned for a foul on Xabi Alonso.

GOAL FOR REAL MADRID!!! Super sub Di Maria finally breaks the deadlock. A long ball from the right is angled in. Pedretti falls asleep at the far post and Di Maria sneaks in. Chests the ball down, then volleys into the bottom right-hand corner.

AUXERRE HIT THE POST!! Bizarre moment. Pepe heads against his own post from Traore's cross as Casillas watches in disbelief. Ramos clears.

SUB FOR AUXERRE: Alain Traore replaces Steeven Langil

Ozil is beginning to get more involved. WHAT A CHANCE!!! Di Maria fires a cross inside the six yard box but Higuain can't connect.

Madrid want to win this. No question. Di Maria's introduction shows just how much they realise how important three points could be.

SUB FOR REAL MADRID: Angel di Maria replaces Lassana Diarra

CHANCE FOR REAL MADRID!!! From the corner Ronaldo rises highest inside the goal area but nods his header over the bar. Great chance.

Ozil is fouled by Coulibaly 30 yards out. Ronaldo is over it. It dips and swerves but Sorin punches clear.

Alonso drops deep. Arbeloa finds Ronaldo on the edge of the box. He tricks his way past Chafni before hammering a shot goalwards. Sorin stands firm and holds.

What a left off for Madrid and Mourinho is not happy with what he's watching.
