Live Commentary
Time:90'- Recreativo de Huelva
- Real Madrid
90+3 The final whistle has gone in Huelva, and Real Madrid has stretched their lead at the top back to five points following Barca's 4-2 defeat at Atletico. What a 90 minutes in Spain! Thanks for joining us, hasta pronto!- 90+2 GOLAZO!! Martins blasts in a wonderful curling free kick that has Casillas clutching at thin air, what a goal! It's such a shame that it will probably be worthless now!
90' GOOOOOOOOOOL! Less than a minute after they had a penalty appeal waved away, Robinho dinks a delightful chip over the goalkeeper to seal Recre's fate! What a cameo from Robinho!- 86' A lovely piece of sexy football as Robinho steps on the ball and then flicks it to Miguel Torres, who completes the one-two the send the Brazilian on his way!
77' Recre have a free kick. It's floated in and nodded back to the far post where Sinama Pongolle is unmarked!! Miguel Torres comes flying in to block the shot and stop what would almost certainly be an equaliser!!- 74' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Robinho scores within seconds of being on the pitch! Gago's through ball is intercepted by a defender but it breaks loose and Robinho pounces on the edge of the pitch to blast past Sorrentino with his first touch!! This is rapidly becoming the season where Robinho finally emerges as a bona fide star!!
72' Now Fabio Cannavarro goes into the book! this is getting ridiculous! Cannavarro is saved from being sent off as he is substituted for Robinho.- 70' It looks as though the referee is losing control of this match, as he books Robben. He looks like a nervous wreck!
- 65' Julio Baptista slides a ball through to Robben who is onside, but his first touch is too heavy and the ball runs out of even the lightning winger's range.
62' Quique Alvarez comes on for Aitor as Recre boss Manolo Zambrano looks to take the lead over the champions.- 56' Raul beats the offside trap and is through. He goes for the nutmeg... Deflected just wide! Drenthe comes off for Pepe.
55' And now Sergio Ramos is off! He led with his elbow as he went up for a header with Sinama-Pongolle, although it seems that the French forward came up on Ramos's blind side! The sides are back on level footing.- 53' Recre have a corner and it's scrambled away but comes loose for Sinama-Pongolle to shoot.. .Great save Casillas! He parried it and watched helplessly and the ball spun out of his hands and just wide of the post!
- 51' There's a scuffle in the box after Casillas tips over the shot from the free kick, and it's a red card for Beto! He and Gabriel Heinze got a bit tetchy as the cross came in and the Argentinian goes down clutching his face! Recre down to ten men!
- 49' Sergio Ramos slides in two-footed on Tornavaca, right on the edge of the box! He gets a booking and the free kick was the correct decision!
48' Real win a corner. Played short by Robben. The cross goes all the way over to Drenthe on the other side. He swings the ball back in for SERGIO RAMOS... Offside!- 46' Recre get the second half underway! Can they hold on for a much needed point? Or even go one better? Well, technically two better, but whatever...
- 45+3' But Martins's cross is headed clear, and Real survive. 1-1 at half-time.
- 45+2' Martins wins a free-kick in a dangerous position on the Recre right.
- 45+1' Another great save from Casillas! Sinama-Pongolle touches a left-wing cross goalwards but the Spaniard somehow repels it!
- 45' There will be two minutes of injury time.
- 44' Maxi Rodriguez has just scored to put Atletico Madrid 2-1 up against Barca. For once Real will be cheering a goal by their fierce city rivals - as things stand they are top by three points.
- 43' Sinama-Pongolle attacks a cross from the left and puts his header just wide of Casillas's left-hand post!
- 39' Ramos's attempted pass towards Drenthe on the left is just too strong, and the ball goes out for a throw-in.
- 38' Martins finds some space on the edge of the Real box and fires in a well-hit right-footer that draws a sharp save from Casillas.
- 33' Real win another corner on the right, and Robben's delivery finds Ramos at the back post but he's penalised for hand-ball.
- 32' Sergio Ramos attempts a spectacular scissors kick from Arjen Robben's right-wing corner, but the ball is headed away from just in front of him!
- 31' Raul and Sorrentino are both back on their feet and able to continue.
29' Both Sorrentino and Raul are receiving treatment after that collision. It was a superb display of the goal-scorer's arts from the Real captain, who was only just onside when the ball was played.- 27' GOAL! 1-1! Brave, brave header from Raul, who nods Roysten Drenthe's right-wing cross beyond Sorrentino and into the empty net before colliding heavily with the 'keeper!
- 26' Recre's approach here has to be commended. Their work-rate is phenomenal, and they've got the champions rattled.
- 23' Real boss Bernd Schuster looks a worried man. And his players aren't particularly happy either - Heinze is bawling at the referee about some perceived injustice.
- 22' Recre are really in the mood here. Florent Sinama-Pongolle works the ball wide to Varela on the right, but he runs into trouble.
- 19' Real look stunned by that setback, but you can't say they didn't get any warning. They haven't threatened at all in this game, and without Ruud van Nistelrooy up front they look pretty toothless.
- 16' GOAL! 1-0 Recre! Fernando Gago concedes a free-kick on the Real right, and Caceres gets on the end of the ensuing delivery to place a well-taken volley past Casillas from close range! Real's defence was caught completely cold!
- 15' Martins cracks in a shot from 20 yards but, despite being well struck, it flies straight at Iker Casilllas.
- 13' Varela attempts a crossfield pass towards the left wing with the outside of his right foot, but there's just too much spin on the ball and it goes out for a goal kick.
- 12' Real left-back Torres looks to get forward down the left, but he's halted by a tackle from Bouzon.
- 10' Varela bursts down the Recre right and crosses, but Real hack it clear.
- 6' Gabriel Heinze slides in to concede a corner on the Recre right. And Recre take a brilliant short corner, with one man touching the ball and leaving it, and another coming over to dribble the ball unchallenged into the box, before laying the ball back to a team-mate who blasts it over the bar! Wonderful invention from the home side.
- 4' No clear chances to speak of as yet. Both sides settling into their stride.
1' The game is underway!- 19:00 Good evening and thanks for joining us for LIVE coverage of Recreativo v Real Madrid. With Barca snapping at their heels at the top of La Liga, Real simply have to win.
