Real Madrid avoid Alcoyano upset - as it happened

A nervous evening for Real Madrid but they got there in the end. Thanks for following the game with us.

ALCOYANO NOT GI|VING UP

They're still trying until the final whistle but it is a futile task now.

They have had so much of the game and before the Real second they looked more like getting the winner.

Isco was only just on the pitch and a defensive clearance rebounded to put him through and he pushed the ball past the keeper before the two collided but the ball deflected off Juan and into the net.

Asensio hits home a deflected effort after Hazard squared the ball to him on the edge of the box.

But his effort is gathered by the Alcoyano stopper.

For an earlier foul on Camavinga.

But his shot is blocked.

GOAL FOR ALCOYANO!

And what a goal. Dani Vega ran down the right flank and cut inside before firing an unstoppable left-footed effort inside the far top corner.

Raul, Juli and Garcia come on for Blanco, Escudero and Mirando.

But he can only cut the ball into the arms of Lunin.

CASANOVA WITH A LOVE TAP

Albeit with an elbow in a jumping contest and he gets a yellow card for it.

It had a lot of power but a couple of yards wide of the target.

BOOKING FOR CARBONELL

A good run from Militao and after nutmegging the defender he was brought down.

Bad luck in the rare start for the striker as he looked to have pulled a hamstring.

A half dominated by Alcoyano but Real Madrid's one shot on target is enough to have them in front.

But the Frenchman is crowded by a couple of defenders and it flies wide.
