Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga games between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the action from the San Mames. Kick-off: 15.15.

Ramos has been solid for Real Madrid at the back so far this afternoon. He has been safe in possession and has made up for a couple of shaky moment from Navas in goals.

Benzema has been the best player on the pitch, but it's quite clear that the Real Madrid striker is struggling with an injury now. Zidane will surely make the change. He has Morata on the bench.

Kroos should have taken a shot at goal himself! Marcelo's backheel set up the German with space inside the penalty area, but he decided instead to clip a cross to the back post.

Williams has been excellent this afternoon and he is now acting as cheerleader. He is gesturing to the home supporters inside San Mames to make more noise. They are obliging.

This has been a strong start to the second half by Athletic Bilbao, but they also started the first half the better of the two teams and Real Madrid eventually weathered the storm.

ADURIZ HEADER ON GOAL! The Athletic Bilbao leaps above his marker to get a header on goal, but between Ramos and Navas Real Madrid manage to clear the danger.

No changes made by either team at the break. Benzema suffered a knock towards the end of the first half, but the French striker has emerged for the start of the second.

The second half is under way at San Mames! Real Madrid are 1-0 up on Athletic Bilbao.

What did you make of the firts half at San Mames? Do Athletic Bilbao have to make more of their chances? Could Benzema's injury be a problem? Tweet me!

HALF TIME: Athletic Bilbao 0-1 Real Madrid. An enthralling half of football comes to a close and Benzema's goal is the difference between the two sides. Real have been more clinical.

That was a sore one for Benzema. Benat caught him on the ankle with a late tackle but the French striker is now back on his feet and seems to be ready to continue. Fortunate for him.

Valverde will be quite pleased with how his team have played in this first half. They have gone toe-to-toe with Real Madrid. They just need to make sure they take their opportunities.

Williams has enjoyed a good first half. Marcelo hasn't been able to get near him, but the Athletic Bilbao winger hasn't provided the final ball Aduriz so badly needs. Where's his final product?

That was some lovely interplay from Real Madrid. Marcelo and Ronaldo linked up really well down the left side, but the cross into the area was just a little too strong for Benzema.

This has been an exceptional match for the neutral so far. Athletic Bilbao have responded pretty well since conceding the opener. They are still pressing every chance they get.

Finally, the Brazilian enters the book. He should have seen a yellow card for his foul on Williams a long time ago.

And one for the Real Madrid right back.
