End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME! There goes the final whistle, and in fairness a point apiece is a fair result.
Madrid didn't do enough to seal victory and it's another very good showing from Leganes, who stretch their unbeaten run to four games.
Karim Benzema cancelled out Jonathan Silva's opener, ansd that's how it's stayed.

CD Leganés
CHANCE! Leganes remain a threat on the break and Braithwaite has Varane just where he wants him on a one v one, but after cutting inside and out, the striker loses his footing!

SUB! Leganes are looking to wind this down now as Recio comes on for Vesga.

SAVE! Strong hands from Cuellar now to deny Marcelo on the break as after Vazquez lays the ball off to Benzema, the striker shows brilliant feet to flick the ball away from Nyom and into the Brazilian's path, but Marcelo's left-foot drive is parried to safety!
83'
CD Leganés
NO GOAL! Martin Braithwaite doesn't even break into celebration as he can see the offside flag has alrerady gone up, and despite a nice finish, this isn't going to stand.
He had gone just a second too soon to meet the pass from Nyon, and the goal is correctly chalked off.
81'
Real Madrid
We've seen some lovely touches from Modric tonight, who continues to play with a smile on his face despite the ptoblems Madrid have had this season.
SUB! It's time for Gareth Bale as he replaces Asensio for the final 10 minutes.
77'
Real Madrid
SUB! Madrid are cranking up the pressure as Marcelo volleys over after a nervous flap from Cuellar at the corner. Zidane responds by introducing Lucas Vazquez for Isco.

CHANCE! Madrid come so close to completing the turnaround as Cuellar does really well to shut off the angle and deny Asensio from Benzema's pass!
The opportunity came just after Braithwaite felt he had been brought down by Casemiro when attempting to run clear on goal but the referee was in a good position.

SUB! Time for a second change for Leganes as Nabil El Zhar replaces Javier Eraso.

SAVE! For the first time in the match, Dani Carvajal's ball is on the money as it reaches Asensio at the front post, and he manages to flick his shot cutely around the corner, but not beyond Cuellar!
En Nesyri is then denied the perfect first touch as Varane gets to Nyom's cross just before the Leganes substitute. This is end to end at the moment.
67'
BOOKED! Here's another booking for Real Madrid as Fede Valverde catches Nyon in a dangerous position. Can Leganes make this count? The delivery from Eraso is cleared well by Nacho.

SUB! Here's the first change of the night from Leganes as struiker Guyido Carrillo is replaced by Youssef En Nesyri for the final half an hour or so.
BOOKED! Incidentally, Asensio was cautioned about four minutes ago after catching Silva's face with a flailing arm, altough it didn't appear malicious.

SAVE! Silva is in the mood today as he gets forward once more on the left to meet the cross from Nyom, but there's not enough power on the effort, and it's comfortable for Navas to gather.
60'
Real Madrid
Madrid are on top now as Isco is fouled once more by Bustinza. I'm not sure hiow he's avoided a yellow card so far.
WIDE! Asensio works the ball nicely to the left, and after Modric finds Isco, the shot from 25 yards doesn't trouble Cuellar.
54'
Carvajal isn't happy with Siovas for leaving his studs on him in the challenge as the Leganes man clears his lines.
The Spain international had every right to go for that ball, and it was a little bit naughty from Siovas.
51'
Real Madrid
GOAL! Real Madrid are level!! It's only taken them six minutes of this half to find the equaliser and it's Karim Benzema once more.
After a nice turn from Modric, the Frenchman gets his shot away before Silva can block it, and after Cuellar makes the initial save to his left, Benzema is on hand to score the rebound before Omeruo can make the challenge!

This is not new territory for Madrid, having conceded the first goal in in eight of their last nine matches.
BOOKED! Having won three of their last four from losing positions, they will remain confident of turning this around but Carvajal shows his frustrations here to be cautioned for dissent having slammed the ball into the ground upon seeing a throw-in call go against him.
