Real Valladolid come away from the Santiago Bernabeu with a point! Zidane's team selection offered a throwback and the end result is a throwback to last season when Real Madrid dropped countless points at home. The feel good feeling of opening weekend has already vanished.
FULL TIME: Real Madrid 1-1 Real Valladolid
Is there time for a winner for either of these two teams? Real Madrid must have thought they had the three points in the bag, but they have been pegged back and this will be two points dropped.
Four minutes of stoppage time will be played at the end of the match.
Zidane calls one of his old favourites to rescue Real Madrid. Vazquez is on.

K. Benzema
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 1 Real Valladolid 1 (89 mins - Sergi Guardiola). It's a dramatic equaliser for Real Valladolid! Guardiola was played in behind and finishes through the legs of Courtois who had rushed off his line. Did the Belgian need to come out that far? Real Madrid were cut open at the back!
Goal
S. Guardiola
A win here would put Real Madrid six points ahead of Barcelona before their game tomorrow evening. That would be the first time in over 800 days that Real have held such an advantage.
Chance to equalise! Real Valladolid take their foot off the brake now that they fallen behind. A cross was played to the back post, but Guardiola strikes his full volley over the bar.
Just as it seemed that time was running out for Real Madrid, they find the lead. Benzema has rescued them so many times over the past two seasons and he might just have given them three points here.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 1 (83 mins - Karim Benzema) Real Valladolid 0. At long last Real Madrid have the breakthrough! It's been a long, long time in coming, but Benzema has given the hosts the lead! He took one touch to control the pass and then one touch to fire a low strike into the far corner of the net from the edge of the box!
Goal
K. Benzema
A change for Real Valladolid and it's Antonito who comes on for the final eight minutes.

Another Valladolid chance! This is a really open game now and that is opening the door for the away team. Guardiola was in the middle, but he couldn't convert the cross on the stretch! There were two of them there!
Benzema is down! This doesn't look to be too serious, but the French striker is down on the ground and looks to have a toe injury. He will surely be fine to continue. Just needs some treatment.
Courtois save! Now it's Waldo who tests the Real Madrid defence, with the substitute unleashing an effort on goal. Courtois was behind it all the way and makes the punch clear.
Last gasp! A block from Ramos prevents Unal from being one-on-one with Courtois. That's the second time that Ramos has made a last ditch intervention to prevent Valladolid causing real problems.
