    • Real Madrid
    • FT And there is the final whistle - Barca are now just two points behind Real Madrid. Thanks for joining us for our coverage.
    • 90+2 Alonso whips in a great ball and Goitom just can't quite get to the ball.
    • 90+1 ANOTHER booking - Ivan Alonso.
    • 90' Goitom has a great chance to win it in the final minute as he plays a one-two with Movilla but he just pokes the ball wide past the onrushing Casillas.
    • 87' Abel on the counter attack tries to lob Casillas who was off his line but the Real keeper tips it over the bar. It might have been wiser to try and play in Ivan Alonso who was free in the middle.
    • 86' Abel goes down in the box and is then given a yellow card for diving.
    • 83' GUTI HAS BEEN SENT OFF!!!! He reacts by kicking out at Cesar Arzo after having being fouled by Richi. Maybe a bit harsh but stilly nonetheless. Richi gets booked too.
    • 81' Everything still in the balance - Murcia now make a change - crowd favourite Ivan Alonso comes on for Inigo.
    • 77' Movilla had a chance at the back post after a cross by Inigo, but he takes far too long to try and get the ball under control and Real clear.
    • 76' Double change for Real - Raul and Robinho make way - and Robben and Higuain come on.
    • 75' Good shift up front Baiano - he makes way for Goiton.
    • 71' Yet another player in the book - this time Movilla sees yellow.
    • 70' Abel on the right of the box tries to guide a header into the opposite corner but it goes wide.
    • 69' Murica give the ball away early and Guti chips the ball through to Vsn Nistelrooy but the Dutchman is offside.
    • 67' Real have lots of attacking options on the bench: Saviola, Robben, and Higuain to name just three - it might be time to use one.
    • 63' Real are not starting to get back on top of things a bit but they need more from Van Nistelrooy who has been very quiet - he only usually needs one chance though of course . Meanwhile Sergio Ramos is lucky not to be booked for an elbow in the face of Inigo.
    • 59' Inigo really should do better with a header at the back post but he can only put it wide.
    • 58' Panic stations in the Murcia defence but neither Raul or Van Nistelrooy can get the ball to drop kindly at their feet.
    • 54' Muria work the free short to Movilla - he hits a nice strike from 30 yards that Casillas tips over.
    • 53' Pepe pulls back Pena and gets a yellow for his troubles. Murcia are flying now.
    • 50' Interestingly Cannavaro was off the field when the goal went in.
    • 49' MURCIA ARE LEVEL!!!! De Lucas with a bullet of a diving header from a corner from Peña but where was the marking? Guti let his man go free.
    • 46' And we are back underway in Murcia - the home side need to keep doing what they are doing but to also add an extra dimension to their game.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - Real in front but not in charge.
    • 45' Gago fouls Abel Gomes on the edge of the area - they have the option to cross or shoot - Gomes elects to cross but he curls it too high and it goes out wide.
    • 43' Real Madrid have had 61% of the possession but they are by no means dominating.
    • 40' Nice move by Murcia almost sees Baiano away again but he is flagged offside.
    • 37' Things seem to have settled down a bit now and we have a game of football on our hands again. Richi has just had another long range effort for Murcia - none of these attempts are getting close to the target though.
    • 34' This is getting a bit out of hand - players are fouling, diving, and dissent is becoming an issue too - Baiano is the latest to get booked now.
    • 32' And Real's Gago now sees yellow for leaving an elbow flying - looked a little harsh to be honest.
    • 30' The Murcia players are getting a bit frustrated now - De Lucas has just picked up a yellow card.
    • 29' The home fans are not happy as they feel Pena is fouled just outside the box but nothing is given.
    • 24' Baiano again shows he has something about him by getting a shot on target despite being squeezed out of things by the Real defence. Casillas makes a comfortable save though.
    • 22' Notario flaps at a free from Guti into the box but Raul can't get a header on target from six yards out - he probably just saw it too late.
    • 18' Baiano shows good commitment down the left and plays it across to De Lucas who then shoots again from way out - it goes well wide again though - still Murcia are showing an eagerness to get back into the match.
    • 16' Guti splits the defence with another superb ball into Robinho but the linesman's flag goes quickly up.
    • 13' Murica looking for a quick response - They get a free-kick 35 yards out. Baiano tries his luck but it goes straight into the wall.
    • 9' REAL IN FRONT!!!!!! Superb goal - Gago chips a great ball into the box for Guti who then side-foots it across superbly to Robinho and the Brazilian then heads it home at the back post. Notario did his best to keep it out but it crossed the line. A hint of offside about it but still - great goal. .
    • 7' A Real free drops to Ramos in the box but the ball is a little behind him and he can't get any power in his shot.
    • 4' First chance of the match falls for Murica a long throw eventually comes to Abel Gomez at the back post and he tries a quick volley but he screws it just wide - the home fans are really up for this one.
    • 1' And we are underway - Real in their changed shirts of black (or is it very dark Blue?)
    • - So we have just seen Barcelona pick up three points, can Real Madrid now repeat the trick with victory in Murcia?

  • Summary

    • 90' Goitom has a great chance to win it in the final minute as he plays a one-two with Movilla but he just pokes the ball wide past the onrushing Casillas.
    • 83' GUTI HAS BEEN SENT OFF!!!! He reacts by kicking out at Cesar Arzo after having being fouled by Richi. Maybe a bit harsh but stilly nonetheless. Richi gets booked too.
    • 59' Inigo really should do better with a header at the back post but he can only put it wide.
    • 49' MURCIA ARE LEVEL!!!! De Lucas with a bullet of a diving header from a corner from Peña but where was the marking? Guti let his man go free.
    • 9' REAL IN FRONT!!!!!! Superb goal - Gago chips a great ball into the box for Guti who then side-foots it across superbly to Robinho and the Brazilian then heads it home at the back post. Notario did his best to keep it out but it crossed the line. A hint of offside about it but still - great goal. .
