    • - Thanks for joining us tonight. See you next time.
    • 90'+4 There goes the final whistle and it ends 2-2!
    • 90'+3 There's a bit of handbags now as Diarra jumps in on Tamudo...
    • 90'+2 Real win a free kick... Sneijder steps up to take it... huge hand ball shout as the ball hits Moises on the arm in the wall! Play on says the referee!
    • 90' Three minutes of added time to be played.
    • 86' Diarra turns well but his shot is way off target and Kameni is not troubled.
    • 80' Into the last 10 minutes, and still nothing to separate the two sides....
    • 77' Van Nistelrooy! Heinze pulls it back to the Dutchman, but his header is wide of the mark! It's not been his night so far...
    • 74' De La Pena is taken off as Coro comes on to replace.
    • 70' Robben, who only came on at half time, is taken off and replaced by fellow Dutchman Royston Drenthe.
    • 69' Sneijder lets fly! He's lost none of his power following his lengthy lay off... Kameni claims at the second time of asking.
    • 68' De La Pena goes into the book for arguing the toss after a decision goes against Espanyol.
    • 66' Kameni to Espanyol's rescue again! This time he denies van Nistelrooy's first time strike from Higuain's centre! Super save!
    • 65' Robben is flagged for offside and the break of play will give Sneijder the chance to enter the fray... at De La Red's expense.
    • 64' Looks like Sneijder is coming on for Real...
    • 61' Super save from Kameni to keep out a a goalbound prod from his own defender Jarque!
    • 57' Real chance for Espanyol! Nene's through on goal... he pushes the ball past Casillas who has committed himself totally! But Cannavaro gets back to mop up the danger!
    • 56' Nene goes down in the box under a challenge from Pepe... but his play acting possibly works against him and the ref waves play on!
    • 54' Casillas spills what looks like an easy shot to hold onto... fortunately for him, there's no one there to take advantage.
    • 48' Espanyol have also made a change... Pareja has been replaced by Lacruz.
    • 47' Oooh! Brilliant effort by van Nistelrooy! Robben - on as a sub for van der Vaart - delivers a cross into the box which the Dutchman controls before fiirng an overhead kick goalwards! Well saved by Kameni!
    • 46' Back underway at the Bernabeu!
    • 45'+3 And there goes the half time whistle!
    • 45'+2 GOAL! Guess who? It's that man Raul who levels things up! He takes full advantage of a lucky break in the box before taking two touches - one to get the ball out of his feet and one to fire past Kameni! 2-2!
    • 40' Raul! Ooh! The veteran striker goes mighty close to levelling things up for a second time with a delightful curler from outside the area! Inches wide of the post....
    • 38' Espanyol break... Nene is brought down by Pepe and the Real Madrid defender goes into the book.
    • 31' GOAL! Espanyol take the lead for a second time! Luis Garcia slides in to meet Roman Martinez's superb cross and Espanyol lead 2-1!
    • 25' GOAL! Real Madrid are back in it as Raul stoops to meet a cross with a header that flies past Kameni! 1-1 now!
    • 21' GOAL! Tamudo picks himself up and takes it, sending Casillas the wrong way to put Espanyol into the lead! That's his first ever goal at the Bernabeu!
    • 20' Penalty to Espanyol! Incredible! Heinze catches Tamudo with his dragging leg in the box and the ref points to the spot! You can hear a pin drop in the Bernabeu!
    • 17' Tamudo is through here! No! The linesman's flag is up on the far side...
    • 15' Van der Vaart now lets fly from outside the Espanyol box... but it's poor from the Dutchman and the ball flies way over the bar.
    • 12' Tamudo fancies his chances with a volley from 25 yards! Over the bar this time, but encouraging signs from Espanyol nevertheless...
    • 7' Van der Vaart blocks an attempted clearance... and the ball very nearly loops into the Espanyol net!
    • 5' Pepe flies into a challenge with Roman Martinez and comes off a little worse for wear... but he'll be fine.
    • 2' Chance for Real early on... Van Nistelrooy heads the ball into Higuain's path... but the youngster blazes his shot over the bar!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at the Bernabeu!
