4. It's the start of a new era for Real Madrid tonight. Jose Mourinho begins his Real reign away at Real Mallorca.

5. Mourinho includes summer signings Angel Di Maria, Sergio Canales and Ricardo Carvalho in his starting line up. Mallorca have new arrival Jonathan De Guzman in their team to take on Mourinho's men.

6. The final whistle has just gone in Barcelona's opener away at Racing Santander. The champions cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win courtesy of goals from Messi, Xavi and a debut goal from David Villa. The gauntlet has been thrown down to Real Madrid...

7. <b>KICK OFF</b> Mallorca get us started.

8. 1'

   What an opportunity for Real Mallorca. It would be a huge boost for them if they could claim a scalp so early in their campaign.

9. 2'

   After Lionel Messi started his season with a sublime finish for Barca, Cristiano Ronaldo will be eager to show he is still a force to be reckoned with.

10. 3'

    Ronaldo earns an early free kick after Cendros Lopez brings him down.

11. 4'

    Alonso's ball in is header clear, Marcelo pumps the ball back into the box and Dudu Aouate claims it.

12. 5'

    A lively start from Mallorca. They're not allowing Real any time on the ball.

13. 6'

    Cristiano Ronaldo is on the touchline receiving treatment on his ankle. After the magic spray has been applied he is fit to continue.

14. 7'

    Casadesus plays a beautifully weighted through-ball to Elrich, however the debutant is caught offside.

15. 8'

    First glimpse of goal for Real. Ronaldo makes a surging run towards goal and slides in Higuain, who is quickly smothered by Aouate.

16. 9'

    Higuain is in behind the Mallorca defence, until the flag is raised. The Argentine was at least five yards onside.

17. 10'

    Free kick for Mallorca as Lassana Diarra brings down Castro. They look lively early on.

18. 11'

    Xabi Alonso clears for Real after some hesitant defending. It hasn't been the most comfortable start for Los Blancos.

19. 13'

    Cristiano Ronaldo is starting to creep more and more into the game. He bursts forward again and feeds Higuain, his cross is poor. The ball comes back to Ronaldo, who unleashes a piledriver narrowly wide of the goal.

20. 14'

    Marcelo is down in a heap near his own corner flag after a trip from Nsue.

21. 15'

    Another long range effort from Ronaldo after another mazy run. His latest effort is on target and straight at Aouate.

22. 16'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Alonso</b> booked for a robust challenge on Casadesus.

23. 17'

    Diarra looks for Higuain over the top, once again Real's top goalscorer last season is offside.

24. 18'

    A steady start from Mallorca, Real Madrid are yet to really impose themselves on this match.

25. 19'

    Real have a free kick after Arebeloa and Castro engage in a spot of wrestling/hugging. Very bizarre.

26. 20'

    Diarra brings down Castro near the halfway line. The Mallorca attacker is involved in everything at the moment!

27. 22'

    Real Madrid are enjoying large spells of possession, without really threatening Mallorca. They've only looked dangerous when Ronaldo has been involved.

28. 23'

    Di Maria is hobbling a little bit after a very strong challenge from Elrich. Mourinho will be hoping the debutant can run it off.

29. 24'

    A harsh free kick given against Real Madrid, Diarra adjudged to have been too aggressive with Casadesus.

30. 25'

    Controversy as Higuain is played through and races onto the pass. He shrugs off Ruben Gonzalez and stumbles towards the ground looking for the foul. It's not given and Aouate is able to palm the ball away from goal. The Israel goalkeeper is down after colliding with Higuain.

31. 27'

    The Mallorca keeper is back on his feet sporting a bandage over his right eye. Very brave goalkeeping.

32. 28'

    The bandage has grown to cover Aouate's entire head. Serious head gear on display.

33. 28'

    Mallorca finally restart the game with a goal kick.

34. 29'

    Free kick to Madrid after Arbeloa is brought down by Castro.

35. 30'

    Half an hour gone and still goalless, it's been slightly disappointing from Real Madrid and Mourinho.

36. 31'

    Alonso being penalised for a trip on Castro in the centre circle.

37. 32'

    Michael Laudrup will be a very satisfied man so far. His side have just earned their first corner of the game...

38. 33'

    From the corner Casillas is forced into action for the first time with a simple catch.

39. 34'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Sergi Enrich</b> is booked for blocking Casillas as he attempts to clear.

40. 35'

    Ronaldo with his latest long-range effort on goal. This time his left-footed effort skids wide of the post.

41. 36'

    The game is being played at a really slow tempo now. One player needs to do something to spark it into life.

42. 38'

    Nothing is coming off for Real Madrid. Di Maria and Canales have hardly had a kick between them, Ozil will surely be introduced after the break?

43. 39'

    A deep free kick for Mallorca falls at the feet of Castro. He cuts inside and drills a cross towards goal that is blocked. It deflects back of the attacker and out for a goal kick to Madrid.

44. 40'

    Enrich comes the close to opening the scoring! After neat approach play the ball arrives with Enrich on the corner of the box. He drills a shot across goal that only narrowly misses the right-hand post.

45. 41'

    Casadesus has a clear sight of the Real Madrid goal and wastes the opportunity! Fortunately for him the flag is raised and his blushes are spared.

46. 42'

    Jose Mourinho will have his work cut out at half time. His team look devoid of ideas and they need an improvement. Arbeloa has been brought down and they have a chance from this free kick...

47. 44'

    Aouate punches away confidently, but only finds Carvalho. The Portuguese defender hooks the ball towards goal and eventually out of play.

48. 45'

    Another opening for Mallorca, Castro sending across a deep cross which Nsue gets on the end of. His header only finds the side netting.

49. 45'

    <b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>

50. 46'

    Mallorca look to be growing in confidence as this game goes on. They will fancy their chances of grabbing a goal in the second half.

51. 47'

    Almost an opening for Higuain, looking to latch onto a through ball until Gonzalez shuts him out.

52. 48'

    <b>HALF TIME</b> A lacklustre performance from Real Madrid against a determined Mallorca team. Los Blancos have it all to do in the second half.

53. 48'

    Jose Mourinho will surely have to change his team in the second half? With Mesut Ozil on the bench, Real Madrid have a potential matchwinner among their subs.

54. 45'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Fernando Cavenaghi on for Sergi Enrich</b>

55. 45'

    <b>KICK OFF</b> Real Madrid start the second half.

56. 46'

    Di Maria with an outrageous shot from the touchline that flies well wide of goal.

57. 47'

    Canales fouls Marti. The young Spaniard has struggled to make any kind of impact on the game.

58. 48'

    Almost an opening for Di Maria, who is found by an excellent ball from Higuain. His touch is good, and he is only stopped by some strong defending from Avoze.

59. 50'

    Casadesus comes close to opening the scoring! Castro whips in a superb ball, Casadesus can only send his header over with the goal at his mercy.

60. 51'

    Real Madrid have the first corner of the second half. Can they trouble Aouate?

61. 52'

    Nunes hammers the corner clear at the near post.

62. 53'

    Higuain is in behind Mallorca, and for the third time tonight finds himself in an offside position.

63. 53'

    A free kick 30 yards from goal as De Guzman brings down Di Maria. Up steps Ronaldo...

64. 54'

    Ronaldo's low effort bounces in front of Aouate and he's only able to push the ball away for a Real Madrid throw.

65. 56'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Karim Benzema and Mesut Ozil on for Angel Di Maria and Sergio Canales </b>

66. 57'

    What can Ozil do on his Real Madrid debut? As for Benzema, can he kick start his career after a disappointing first season in Madrid?

67. 58'

    Real Madrid free kick after a Marti foul on Higuain.

68. 59'

    Another free kick, this time closer to goal. Cue Cristiano Ronaldo...

69. 60'

    Ronaldo's effort clatters the wall and is cleared.

70. 61'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Perreira on for Victor Casadesus</b>

71. 62'

    Benzema is played through, but the flag is raised. The Mallorca offside trap has been very effective.

72. 63'

    Higuain breaks the offside trap and this time he is onside. He shrugs off Avoze and bears down on goal, for the second time in the match Aouate comes out bravely at his feet and smothers the ball. Great goalkeeping.

73. 64'

    A deep free kick from the Mallorca left is easily caught by Casillas. This game desperately needs a goal.

74. 64'

    Nunes executes the perfect sliding tackle to stop Higuain. Real Madrid with a corner...

75. 65'

    Carvalho heads the corner over the bar. Goal kick to Mallorca.

76. 66'

    An utterly outrageous attempt at goal from Ronaldo. After taking the ball on his chest, he flicks his heel at it and sends an effort towards goal. It's a comfortable catch for Aouate.

77. 67'

    De Guzman is brought down by Lassana Diarra. Mallorca's only summer signing is enjoying a splendid debut.

78. 68'

    After winning the free kick De Guzman fires an effort at goal. Casillas is required to make a smart save low to his right and parry the shot clear.

79. 69'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Sami Khedira on for Alvaro Arbeloa</b>

80. 70'

    An attacking switch from Mourinho, sacrificing a full-back for an attacking midfielder. Will the gamble pay off?

81. 71'

    Mallorca growing in confidence again at the moment, can they snatch an unlikely win?

82. 72'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Tomas Pina on for Gonzalo Castro</b>

83. 73'

    A perfectly timed tackle from Carvalho stops Cavenaghi as Mallorca look to break. Will we get a winning goal?

84. 74'

    Ozil attempts a back-heel on the touchline, but it doesn't come off and it's a throw in to Mallorca. Nothing is clicking for Real Madrid tonight.

85. 75'

    Carvalho again saving Los Blancos, this time heading a cross that looked destined for Cavenaghi.

86. 77'

    Cristiano Ronaldo wastes Real Madrid's best chance of the game! Benzema puts him in, Ronaldo waits and waits before deciding to shoot. The angle was too tight and his shot is wide.

87. 78'

    Tomas Pina lashes over a volley from 12 yards! Excellent approach play involving De Guzman and Cavenaghi. The ball is played to Pina, who slices his volley over the crossbar.

88. 79'

    The game starting to open up slightly now as both sides sense victory...

89. 80'

    Khedira has looked lively since his introduction. He spots the run of Benzema, only to see his through ball cut out.

90. 82'

    Real Madrid are desperate to begin the Mourinho era with a win. Mallorca are standing firm for the moment, though.

91. 83'

    Aouate denies Higuain once again! The ball comes into Ronaldo, he turns and plays in Higuain. Through one on one, once again Higuain sees Aouate deny him. More fantastic goalkeeping.

92. 84'

    Cendros with a last ditch interception to stop a Benzema cross reaching Higuain. Real Madrid corner...

93. 85'

    The corner is cleared as far as Ozil. His cross from deep is met by Khedira who beats Aouate to the ball only to see his header bounce wide.

94. 86'

    Nearly a dream debut goal for De Guzman! Tomas Pina plays the ball into the debutant, but his shot is closed down.

95. 87'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Cendros</b> yellow carded for a tough challenge on Ronaldo.

96. 88'

    Mesut Ozil is stopped by the flag as once again the Real Mallorca offside trap proves successful. They've defended excellently.

97. 90'

    <b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>

98. 91'

    A Ronaldo cross falls to the feet of Ozil. As he sets himself to shoot Nunes clears for a corner.

99. 92'

    The corner is cleared, but Perreira loses possession. The ball eventually falls to Benzema inside the penalty area. His shot is poor and the chance is wasted. Can Mallorca hang on?

100. 92'

     Diarra trips Ruben and that may well be enough for Mallorca.

101. 93'

     <b>FULL TIME</b> Real Mallorca claim a deserved draw as Real Madrid stutter on the opening day.

102. 93'

     An unconvincing performance from Mourinho's Real Madrid. They struggled to create chances, and Ronaldo was the only player who carried any goal threat.

103. 93'

     For Michael Laudrup, a fantastic start to his Mallorca career. Debutant Jonathan De Guzman starred for the home side, and he looks to be a very good free transfer.
