FULL TIME: Real Madrid 5-1 Elche
GOAL! Real Madrid 5 (92 mins - Cristiano Ronaldo) Elche 1. And Ronaldo has a fourth goal! Bale outstrips the defender with his pace before threading through his teammate, who finishes.
The Elche fans are making all the noise inside the Bernabeu, even at this late stage, with the home crowd jeering and whistling when Bale decides to shoot from range. They're a demanding lot here.
Three minutes of stoppage time to be played.
Elche are hanging on to 4-1 here, not that that's much to hang on to. Hernandez and Ronaldo both have good opportunities to find the net, but they fluff their lines and Manu survives this time.
What a chance for Hernandez to grab his first Bernabeu goal as a Real Madrid player! After good play by Isco on the right side the ball falls to the Mexican but he leans back and scoops his shot well over.
Real Madrid come down the right side, with Arbeloa squaring the ball to the edge of the box, but Kroos hits his shot down into the ground and it bounces up and on to the top of the bar.
Real Madrid sub: Sergio Ramos OFF, Nacho Fernandez ON.
Ronaldo has now scored 25 hat-tricks for Real Madrid. That's right. TWENTY FIVE! Where does he keep all the match balls that he has won over the course of his career?
GOAL! Real Madrid 4 (83 mins - Cristiano Ronaldo) Elche 1. And Ronaldo has his hat-trick! He picks himself up after being fouled in the box and slams home the spot kick. No stopping that.
PENALTY KICK TO REAL MADRID! Ronaldo caught in the box by Pasalic.
So on comes Hernandez, who scored two goals in the 8-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend. His first one was an absolute peach. Louis Van Gaal must have watched on wondering what he has done.
Real Madrid sub: James Rodriguez OFF, Javier Hernandez ON.
Elche sub: Garry Rodrigues OFF, Christian Herrera ON.
Here comes a change for Real Madrid. Javier Hernandez is stripped and ready to be introduced.
Isco is kind of at odds with the rest of this Real Madrid team. In a side that likes to move the ball as quick as possible the playmaker takes many more touches. Sometimes you think he overdoes it.
Bale and Ronaldo haven't made much of an impact in this second half. That's not to say that they have played poorly. It's just that they haven't played up to their usual high standards.
Jonathas gets a bit impatient with his side's build-up and elects to shoot from the best part of 30 yards. But he gets it all wrong and his effort dribbles well wide of the target. No laughing at the back!
Cam Elche anything like a late comeback here? They are just starting to show a little bit more attacking ambition, but that could be exposed on the counter attack by Real Madrid.
