Welcome to LIVE coverage of Real Madrid v Sporting Gijon from the Santiago Bernabeu!

Half time and it's goalless - the scoreline pretty much says it all.

Two minutes added time.

Great run by Novo on the left, super skill at the byline but his cut back is prodded wide!

Great cross in from the left foot of Ozil and Khedira attacks but puts the diving header wide!

The corner drops plumb in the six yard box but Sporting get it away. Jose Angel is taken out by Ramos, who is booked.

Madrid win a corner on the left. Not a pretty start by them at all. They're struggling to get their 'players' on the ball.

A long ball catches Madrid at sea and Novo is in, Novo on the left, Casillas comes out and misses completely but Novo slips and Real clear! No they don't, a comedy of errors allows De las Cuevas in but eventually it is hacked away.

Aimed long for Adebayor but he can't connect, allowing Juan Pablo to claim.

Jose Angel is booked for a cynical tug on Diarra.

Sent to the edge of the box and Castro shoots but well over in the end.

Sporting with a throw on the right that Arbeloa puts behind for a corner.

Adebayor takes a high ball on the chest and is harshly adjudged to have fouled his man with an arm out to steady his body.

Novo tries a long ball for Barral but too long. Strange to see him not wearing a Rangers shirt.

Khedira and Di Maria combine but Sporting are able to clear.

Novo with a foul on Di Maria but play on says the ref.

Offside as Angel bursts on down the left - terrible decision as Albiol was playing him yards on.

Ramos gives away a free-kick on the right. A very scrappy opening.

A long-range effort from De Las Cuevas flies well wide in the end.

Adebayor cannot believe he has been penalised when he felt he was fouled.

Bit of unappetising head tennis in the middle of the park. Unbecoming of two footballing sides.

Ozil is fouled by De las Cuevas on the right. Free-kick sent in long and cleared.
