What a way to introduce yourself to this game!

Carlo Ancelotti also opts to switch Ferland Mendy with David Alaba.

On: Lazo, Sousa

Off: Ramazani, Sadiq

Rubi has opted to switch a striker with a midfielder to keep more bodies in the centre of the park.

Modric tries to have another go for goal from the edge of the box, but his effort is deflected and Fernando gathers.

Curro Sanchez is booked for taking out Vini Jr. right on the edge of the penalty area. Free-kick to Los Blancos. The set-piece is eventually hacked clear upfield.

There is the equaliser! It's Lucas Vazquez with a powerful strike from inside the area! It is a bit of a scrappy goal but Real Madrid will not care.

Vinicius makes a late run into the box, but he is stopped in his tracks by Fernando before he can strike. The ball falls to Benzema on the rebound, who just about manages to cut it back for Vazquez to his right despite receiving a late challenge, and the defender makes no mistake from close range.

Carlo Ancelotti reacts to that Almeria change by making one of his own. Tchouameni is replaced by Hazard.
