Half a shout for a penalty as Ronaldo tries to thread a cross in from the left.

Meantime Betis have weathered the storm. Madrid still in charge of match, but clear-cut chances have dried up.

Later on tonight Barcelona host Levante and we'll have full coverage of that one.

Earlier today Granada and Valladolid played out a 1-1 draw.

Half a chance for Pabon - he takes a touch and shovels a volley goalwards from just outside the area - not miles away.

CALLEJON! Another chance for Real Madrid - the youngster shaking his way free and slamming a shot just wide of the far post. Hard to see Betis holding out much longer at this rate.

RONALDO! Chance for the Portuguese striker - he sidefoots over from just outside the area. Not this time...
16'
The game continues, but that will be a concern for Jose Mourinho ahead of the Champions League clash with Dortmund. Marcelo a key part of the line-up.

Marcelo has hurt himself here trying to flick the ball out of the way of Pabon, and his good defensive work has left him sprawled on the floor.
12'
Ronaldo backheels the ball to Marcelo, who fires in a low cross which is deflected away for a corner.
11'
Pepe Mel, the Betis coach, lively on the sidelines here.
10'
Pabon tries to swing a shot around to the far post, but shanks well wide. Not enough of a connection on that effort.
9'
Ball bounces haphazardly in the Betis box - nobody in control of it. In the end Carvalho has a chance to hook a volley goalwards, but is nowhere near the target.
8'
Just half a chance from Casemiro - hit hopefully under a bit of pressure from 30 yards, but wide of the post.
7'
Carvalho has to make a diving stretch to cut out a low ball for a corner.
