  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Mallorca
    • Real Madrid
    • 90+2' There's the final whistle. Real Madrid have survived the second half onslaught from Mallorca, and escape with a point.
    • 90+1' Ibagaza wins a corner off Diarra in stoppage time. He swings it into a crowded area...but it's overhit and runs all the way through and out at the other side.
    • 89' Now it's Real who are making all the running as they go in search of the three points.
    • 87' Miguel Torres swings across a ball looking for Baptista, but it's a little too high from the Brazilian. It comes back out to Robben, but the excellent Nunes makes the block.
    • 84' If Real come away with a point tonight, it will be a minor miracle.
    • 83' Guiza must score for Mallorca...BUT NO!!!! Webo's shot was deflected across to Guiza, he had only Casillas to beat from 6 yards, but he drove the ball into the ground and onto the bar!!!!! The fans here can't quite believe it!!!!
    • 81' Jonas bursts through the centre, but drags his shot just wide of goal.
    • 79' Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano is really going for broke now!! He has thrown on a striker, Pierre Webo, in place of right-back Hector!
    • 75' The momentum is well and truly with Real Madrid now. Heinze is booked for diving - quite correctly. Good decision from the linesman.
    • 75' Ibagaza fed Arango from the left wing, the striker flicked the ball beautifully into the path of Borja, and he curled a sublime shot high into the top right-hand corner beyond Casillas.
    • 73' Borja equalises for Mallorca!!!! And it's nothing more than the Islanders deserve!! He has only been on the pitchfor a couple of minutes!!!
    • 71' Hector swings it in for Guiza, he chests down for Jonas...who hammers the ball wide on the volley!
    • 70' Sneijder gives it away in midfield, Mallorca break quickly, Guiza stands a ball up at the far post for Arango...who sees a spectacular overhead go just inches past the post!!! What an effort!
    • 67' The champions will have to see out the remaining 25 minutes with just ten men, and immediately coach bernd Schuster makes a change. Mahamadou Diarra is on for Gonzalo Higuain -who hasn't exactly pulled up any trees today.
    • 65' Sergio Ramos is off!!! His third red card off the season, and it's another shocker from the referee! He hardly touched Fernando Navarro! That was a second booking, by the way.
    • 63' Fine ball in from Navarro, Guiza rises at the near post...but it's a little too high for him and all he can do is head the ball straight up into the air, allowing Casillas to come and claim.
    • 61' This is fine play from Mallorca. They are certainly looking the more likely team to get the next goal.
    • 59' Ibagaza finds Jonas, who in turn heads it on for Arango...but the Venezuelan can't keep his shot on target.
    • 56' Heinze is caught out of posisiton and Jonas strides forward down the right wing, he plays it across the face of goal, but fails to get it beyond Cannavaro in the middle.
    • 53' Varela drives in a great low ball across the face of goal, but nobody had run in past the Madrid back line and the chance goes begging.
    • 50' Sneijder bombs down the left wing for Real, he floats it across for Guti, but the ball took too long to reach the long-haired Spaniard, and the chance of smashing a volley away is gone.
    • 46' We're uinderway in the second half at Son Moix.
    • 45+2' There's the half-time whistle, and the Mallorca fans whistle their disapproval at the referee. Now a yellow card has been shown to one of the Mallorca coaches.
    • 45+1' A mistake from David Navarro is seized upon by Higuain, he goes past one man, and Jonas gets back to make a vital challenge!
    • 45' To be fair to the referee, he got that one right. It was accidental from Cannavaro off Varela's cross.
    • 45' Huge shouts for a handball go up against Cannavaro in the penalty area...but the referee says no, and out come the white handkerchiefs again!
    • 44' The Dutchman picked the ball up on the right wing, beat Fernando Navarro with ease, then left David Navarro for dead, and laid a ball across the face of goal that Wesley Sneijder smashed home from close range!
    • 43' Goal!! Real Madrid have the lead, and it's all down to the brillance of Arjen Robben!!!!
    • 41' The referee is winning himself no friends tonight. The one time he does give Mallorca a free-kick, he would have been better off letting the game flow. They were on the attack.
    • 39' Robinho, Baptista, Diarra and Pepe are the Real Madrid outfield substitutes tonight. Not a bad looking bench.
    • 37' Nice spell of passing at the moment from Mallorca, they have had the ball for the last few minute, though without ever really threatening the Real area.
    • 33' The white handkerchiefs are out! Nobody shows their disapproval quite as melodramatically as the Spanish! Fantastic.
    • 32' Navarro puts the ball in the back of the net!!! But no, it won't count!! Ramos earlier made a superb tackle to deny Arango a clear goalscoring opportunity, and somehow the referee decided to award Madrid a free-kick. The fans show their obvious disapproval - it was an awful decision.
    • 30' Well, the best chance fo the first half hour fell to Dani Guiza, but he was only able to hit the side-netting, so we're still at 0-0.
    • 28' Fine through ball from Guti for Higuain, Moya comes out and makes himself big to block Higuain's shot!
    • 23' Guiza chests down a cross in the area. He's under pressure from Heinze but plays a gorgeous one-two with Ibagaza...he's through on goal...but hits the side-netting!!! What a miss! He only had Casillas to beat!
    • 22' Fine long-range strike from Robben that Moya does well to hold onto!
    • 22' Sergio Ramos is looking to get forward at every opportunity down the right flank.
    • 21' Guti tests Moya with a daisy-cutter from the edge of the area. No problems for the 'keeper there.
    • 18' Sneijder is fouled by Ibagaza, though the late whistle draws plenty of whistles from the crowd. There are a lot of Argentinians on show tonight, with the aforementioned Ibagaza, Gago, Higuain, Heinze and Jonas
    • 16' Varela comes screaming down the right flank for Mallorca...but he overruns it and allows Marcelo to hack clear.
    • 15' Poor corner from Wesley Sneijder. He doesn't even clear the first man.
    • 13' Guiza does well to keep an overhit ball over the top in play, he lays it back for Juan Arango...who stings the hands of Casillas with a fine left-foot drive.
    • 9' Guti is brought down and Madrid have a free-kick in a central position 40 yards from goal. Sneijder has a crack...but drills it straight into the wall.
    • 8' Nunes robs Sneijder and plays a fine long ball for Jonas on the left wing, he cuts inside and shoots...and Casillas is forced into an excellent low-save to his right!!! He clattered into the near post while making that stop.
    • 5' Lovely touch from gago in midfield for Sneijer, he feeds Raul...he in turns plays a defence-splitting pass for Arjen Robben...who shoots wide of the post! Real chance there for the Dutchman!
    • 4' Marcelo keps his composure well as Mallorca threaten early on.
    • 3' Mallorca have an impressive record against Real Madrid. They have won two of the three matches against the champions this season. The one they lost was a 4-3 thriller at the Bernabeu.
    • 2' Perfect conditions for tonight's game here in the Balearics. A nice warm evening, no wind and a perfect pitch. We're in for a fine evening's entertainment!
    • 1' Raul and Higuian get the game underway for Real.
