Real Madrid – Valencia

1. We're almost ready to get underway at the Bernabeu. This is a really big match - it could go a long way to decidiing who wins the La Liga title this year. And, haircut fans, David Beckham returns on the bench for Real.

2. 1'

   We're underway.

3. 2'

   Good work from Robinho, who lays it off to Higuain.

4. 3'

   Diarra fouled by Morientees just outside the Valencia box. Free-kick.

5. 4'

   The cross is headed away.

6. 4'

   It's all Madrid in these first few minutes.

7. 5'

   Good run and pass from Joaquin almost puts Villa in, but he can't quite reach it.

8. 6'

   Poor ball from Cannavaro goes straight out of play. Robinho claps anyway. I hope he's not being sarcastic.

9. 7'

   Villa caught offside - but that was a really late flag. Replays suggest he was just off.

10. 8'

    Wonderful footwork from Miguel to get Valencia out of trouble in front of their own box.

11. 9'

    Villa wins a throw-in for Valencia.

12. 10'

    Real goal-kick.

13. 11'

    Robinho has been involved in most of Real's good play this first ten minutes. He could be the spark to get them going.

14. 12'

    A good cross-field ball from Gago is just too long for Raul, who was arriving at the far post. Good vision, touch just a little too heavy.

15. 13'

    A Villa free-kick is comfortably headed clear by Van Nistelrooy.

16. 16'

    Morientes is just unable to get on to a Valencia long-ball.

17. 17'

    Valencia corner - or not? The linesman has given a goalkick. Poor, poor decision.

18. 18'

    Villa skips past Cannavaro and gets his shot away - and it is deflected just wide! Cassillas was committed! Goalkick.

19. 18'

    Magnificent goal from Van Nistelrooy! The sweetest of volleys from 20 yards out after a deep cross from Torres. That whistled into the net. Beautiful.

20. 20'

    Well that was special. Until the last few minutes, this contest had been somewhat deviod of thrills - but Van Nistelrooy has put paid to all that. Really memorable.

21. 21'

    If Madrid win this, remember, they'll be just two points behind Barcelona.

22. 21'

    Big interception from Ayala as the ball flew across the Valencia goal. Corner.

23. 22'

    Ramos slides in to cut out a ball into Villa as the striker sprinted forward. That could have been dangerous.

24. 23'

    Real have had 58 per cent of the posession so far.

25. 25'

    Raul almost scores the second after a great low ball across the goal from the right by Higuain. He should have scored.

26. 26'

    Silva tackled by Salgado - it's a Valencia corner.

27. 27'

    Corner is headed over by Morientes.

28. 29'

    Valencia are enjoying their best patch of possession here - and Morientes is just beaten to the ball by Cannavaro in front of goal.

29. 31'

    Van Nistelrooy penalised for a foul on Del Horno.

30. 32'

    Speaking of the clinical Dutchman, he has grown an impressive bouffant since his move to Spain. Is this a fashionable look in Madrid?

31. 33'

    Gago yellow-carded after he was outwitted by Silva. Lovely footwork from Silva.

32. 34'

    Van Nistelrooy takes one in the gob as he jumps to challenge for a high ball with Albelda. Not the Valencia player's fault, though.

33. 35'

    David Beckham is warming up, Spice Girl fans!

34. 36'

    Raul fouled by Ayala as the Spanish forward got across him and looked to go on. Yellow for Ayala.

35. 37'

    Van Nistelrooy hoofs the resultant free-kick over the Valencia wall... and bar.

36. 38'

    Casillas has the ball for Madrid.

37. 39'

    Gago boots it out, looking for Higuain. Ddin't find him, but then again he's not sitting in row E.

38. 40'

    Free-kick for the visitors after a bad tackle by Gago. He's already on a yellow os he needs to be a little cuter.

39. 41'

    Cannavaro boots it into the crowd. Eventaully it's a Madrid goalkick.

40. 43'

    Van Nistelrooy caught offside.

41. 44'

    A scrappy last few minutes to the half as Valencia look for an equaliser. Silva puts the ball out under pressure from Salgado.

42. 45'

    Morientes shoots just wide after a terrific ball from Del Horno. Should have done better.

43. 46'

    One minute of stoppage time being played.

44. 46'

    Half-time. I'll see you after the break!

45. 45'

    The second half is underway.

46. 47'

    Salgado takes a nasty blow to the top of his head as he jumps to challenge for the ball.

47. 48'

    Valencia goalkick.

48. 49'

    Madrid free-kick from inside their half.

49. 49'

    Slow start to this half. Valencia will be looking to Villa and Morientes to turn things around in this second half.

50. 50'

    And Villa almost pulls a rabbit out of the hat - from 35 yards he has Casillas scrambling across his goal as the ball whistles past the post.

51. 52'

    Morientes scores after a good run by Joaquin! The latter ran down the right and put in an early cross: the centre-backs were nowhere to be seen as Morientes tapped the ball past an exposed Casillas.

52. 54'

    So it's all square. Can Madrid respond?

53. 55'

    Miguel puts the ball out under presure from Robinho down the Madrid left.

54. 55'

    The Madrid fans behind the goal go up as Raul falls in the box. The ref is not interested.

55. 56'

    Higuain almost got in there after uncertainty in the Valencia defence. Corner.

56. 56'

    Valencia free-kick.

57. 57'

    A cross from Morientes is intercepted by Ramos, who puts it behind for a corner.

58. 58'

    Free-kick to Valencia after Moretti is fouled.

59. 60'

    Madrid look nervous now. There was a period of ping-pong in the home penalty area after Salgado headed the ball straight to Joaquin.

60. 61'

    Beckham should be on soon, and Guti too. They're both warming on up.

61. 63'

    Free-kick to Valencia after a foul by Salgado.

62. 64'

    Madrid have been really poor in this half. Really terrible; Robinho has been conspicuous by his absense, Raul ditto.

63. 64'

    Here comes Guti - he's on for Gago.

64. 65'

    Raul snakes his way into the box and lets fly at the near post - but his shot is weak and Canzares stops it easily.

65. 66'

    Good cross from Van Nistelrooy just fails to find Raul. The Dutchman follows that up with a flying volley that Canizares tips over, but he was just offisde anyhoo.

66. 66'

    Beckham on for Higuain. The Bernabeu roars for the King of all Cockneys!

67. 68'

    Madrid look livelier now. Guti gets a yellow for handball.

68. 69'

    Joaquin off for Jorge Lopez. Joaquin must have an injury, because he was been pretty good tonight.

69. 69'

    Raul caught offside.

70. 71'

    Madrid corner after an excellent ball from David Beckham.

71. 72'

    Robinho almost gets on to the end of a long-ball into the box, but just fails to get it under contriol.

72. 73'

    Beckham wins a free-kick after being fouled by Del Horno.

73. 73'

    Great cross by Beckham is headed in by Sergio Ramos! Wonderful delivery, wonderful header! And it is 2-1!

    Madrid goalkick as Valencia look to come straight back.

75. 76'

    Casillas has it again.

76. 77'

    Beckham finds Robinho in the box - but he shoots wide!

77. 77'

    Robinho falls in the box - but it is a Valencia goalkick.

78. 79'

    Beckham is linking up play for Madrid well here, drifting in from the right towards the centre and even the left.

79. 81'

    Can Valencia come back into this? It's mostly Madrid at the moment, but we know how fallible they can be at the back.

80. 81'

    Free-kick against Robinho inside the Madrid half, out on their left.

81. 82'

    A blistering volley from Del Horno is well saved by Casillas - who did well, but he would have been disappointed to have missed it.

82. 83'

    Del Horno off for Viana. Valencia are gambling.

83. 84'

    Valencia corner.

84. 85'

    Real goalkick.

85. 85'

    Torres wins a corner for Madrid.

86. 85'

    Reyes on.

87. 87'

    Madrid are playing keep-ball in the corner. Isn't it too early for that?

88. 87'

    Salgado crosses the ball into Canizares' hands.

89. 88'

    Reyes finds Beckham, who chips the ball towards the far post - but it is just over.

90. 89'

    Great shot on the turn by Van Nistelrooy almost brings a third for Real. Just past the post.

91. 90'

    Diarra concedes a foul inside the Real half, some thirty yards from goal. That was clumsy.

92. 90'

    Villa hits the wall - but eventaully Valencia get a corner.

93. 91'

    Three minutes of stoppage time to be played.

94. 93'

    Casillas dives to his left to gather the ball as it was played into the box.

95. 93'

    Seconds to go... there's a fan on the pitch. What idiot, nonsense, etc, etc....

96. 93'

    That's it! Three points for Real! Valencia pushed them close but they desrved it in the end.
