Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey clash between Real Madrid and Leonesa. We'll bring you all the action from the Santiago Bernabeu. Kick-off: 18.00.

Asensio is also in the team for this game this evening. It's unlikely that he will play against Barcelona at the weekend, although Zidane will want him to be sharp so he can be an option from the bench.

Odegaard has started the match well it must be said. Much of Real Madrid's play is flowing through the Norwegian. This is a real chance for him to show what he can do.

Having said that, Real Madrid are well on top as you would expect. But they haven't built on their opening goal within the opening minute. Not another shot on goal since then.

There's not a great deal of passing going on at the moment. It's almost as if the Real Madrid players are trying to dribble it through as many players as possible. Not working.

There are also starts for Isco and James. The latter has found it difficult to break into the Real Madrid starting lineup, so this is an opportunity for him to get some minutes under his belt.

A lot of people have criticised Odegaard since he made the move to Spain. But it must be remembered that he is sitll only 17 and he's playing for Real Madrid. Not bad at all.

Zidane has fielded something of an experimental lineup ahead of the Clasico on Saturday. Odegaard has been handed his first Real Madrid start. All eyes on the Norwegian.

Real Madrid couldn't have asked for a better start to the match. They are 1-0 up and this could get quite ugly for Leonesa. They have a long 86 minutes ahead of them from this point on.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 1 (1 mins - Mariano) Leonesa 0. Real Madrid have the lead after just 40 seconds. Asensio made the most of some slack defending by the away team, setting up Mariano for a tap in to make it 1-0.

The match is under way at the Santiago Bernabeu!
