    • 90' There it is! All over at El Madrigal and it's a walkover for Real Madrid! They run out 5-0 winners to maintain their perfect start to the season!
    • 85' At 5-0 up, Robinho can afford to dazzle the crowd with some silky skills...

    • 79' On as a sub, Baptista's first touch nearly produces a goal... but his cross shot evades everyone in the middle and flashes wide of the far post!
    • 75' 4-0 seems harsh on Villarreal but Real are teaching them a lesson now.

    • 45'+1 And there goes the whistle! A strong finish from Villarreal but it's Real who go in at half time a goal to the good.
    • 45' Venta pulls the ball back to Rossi... he takes a touch before firing goalwards! Saved by Casillas!
    • 44' Rossi does extremely well in a tussle with Ramos... he plays the ball out to Cazorla on the right... who fires a cross over! But again there's no one on hand to turn it in and the chance goes begging!
    • 43' Real break with pace now... with Robinho who plays the ball across the face of goal! Cygan is there to make an important imterception!

    • 41' This will be a test for Villarreal now... what are they made of?

    • 11' Rossi booked for tripping into a Real player!
