    • FT But there is the final whistle - Real have the win but they were given a real scare by Numancia who look a very handy side. Join us for LIVE comments on Almeria v Valencia coming right up.
    • 90+2 Another shakey moment for Real - Moreno gets on the end of a cross at the back post and pulls it across the face of the goal but the onrushing Mario just can't quite get to it.
    • 90+1 There will be three extra minutes.
    • 90' Del Pino with a low drive that Casillas has to get down low to save. Real hanging on a bit.
    • 87' Alvaro the latest to try a strike from distance but no wonder strike this time.
    • 86' A tame end to this crazy game at the moment but there still could be a few nervy moments for Real to survive yet.
    • 83' Well two Dutchmen have come off for Real but now one comes on - Drenthe has come on for Higuain which could be a sign that Real are going to try and close this out.
    • 80' Numancia make a change with Quero coming on for Bellvis.
    • 79' Robben slips a ball for Raul who is just offside. Juan Pablo saves again though. He has made so many saves that haven't counted tonight.
    • 75' Real with a free just on the edge of the area - low drive from De la Red finds the target but Pablo gets down well to make another good save. Strange to say given that he has conceded four goals but the Numancia keeper has been superb.
    • 73' Salgado makes a meal of trying to get rid of another cross before the referee gets him out of jail by blowing for a free. Real have looked atrocious at the back this evening.
    • 71' Robben tries to get things going with a trademark run into the box but he runs into a red wall.
    • 68' Van Nistelrooy and van der Vaart both make way for Real with Raul and De la Red coming on. Van der Vaart looked tired but it is a surprise to see Van Nistelrooy make way.
    • 67' Another superb save from Juan Pablo after a great ball from Guti put in van Nistelrooy but again the flag was up anyway.
    • 66' Alvaro Anton comes on for Barkero who scored the first goal - meanwhile Brit almost looked like he was going to be in but he just couldn't get the ball under control. Numancia looking dangerous.
    • 64' Little spell of pressure from Numancia - Moreno has just fired over after Real looked shaky dealing with a couple of crosses.
    • 63' Real not looking nearly as sharp in this half in front of goal and they have to be careful.
    • 61' Yellow card for Numancia captain Palacios for a foul on Higuain.
    • 58' Pablo with a superb save from close range to keep out Van Nistelrooy but the Dutch striker was offside anyway.
    • 56' Moreno has his second!! A free-kick from just outside the box - that Casillas can't keep out. Woeful from the wall and the keeper though who left a big chunk of the goal to aim at. Game on again.
    • 52' Moreno tries another Numancia shot from distance but this one goes well wide of the target.
    • 50' Another Real shot on target but it is another effort without much power. Higuain fires straight at the keeper.
    • 47' Quick turn and shot from van Nistelrooy on the edge of the area. Good power but straight at Juan Pablo. The former Manchester United has looked very sharp despite not scoring so far.
    • 46' Back underway in Madrid - can Numancia fight back? Or will Real put on a show? Stay here to find out.
    • HT No big moments before the break but what a cracking half of football. Real twice come from behind and lead 4-2 at the break.
    • 41' Well it could be over now - Real have scored again - a corner is flicked on by Pepe and Cisma can only head it into his own net.
    • 38' Numancia still look dangerous enough and Real look shaky at the back. This might not be over yet.
    • 34' Well we didn't have to wait long did we? Van der Vaart with a STUNNING left foot strike to give Real the lead. From the edge of the box into the top corner of the near post. You would usually say the keeper should save that but there was SO much power in the shot.
    • 32' Well we have had a few minutes without any chances - what is going on here?
    • 27' Higuain nearly gets in again but can only curl a shot straight at Juan Pablo.
    • 26' The goals keep coming - Real are level - Superb ball from van Nistelrooy cuts the defence with a stunning pass and Higuain is there to sweep home - what a game.
    • 24' Real go straight back on the attack but Robben is off balance when trying to shoot and Juan Pablo saves. Very open game.
    • 23' Numancia are back in front thanks to a STUNNING strike from Barkero from 30 yards out with his left foot. A Salgado header just fell to him and the attacking midfielder then drilled it into the top corner. Casillas had NO CHANCE.
    • 21' Van Nistelrooy clear through and he tries to lob Juan Pablo but the keeper gets his finger tips to it. Higuaín then looks like he will score but Pablo makes a great save.
    • 19' REAL level matters up - A lovely Real move as Robben and van Nistelrooy link up before he checks it back to Guti. The local boy then fires from distance and it takes a MASSIVE deflection off Boris and goes in.
    • 17' Van Nistelrooy shows good strength with his back to goal and is able to turn and shoot but it is deflected wide.
    • 16' Higuaín picks up the ball on the edge of the area and tries to find space for a shot but it is blocked as he is crowded out.
    • 13' Numancia are playing so well here - they are now just passing the ball around and they look like the European superpower.
    • 11' Awful clearance from Pepe and the ball comes out to Nagore on the edge of the area - he fires a powerful shot but it was a little straight and Casillas pushes away.
    • 9' Robben wiggles into the box but his low cross is cut out. Real with work to do here. Numancia are top of the table as things stand. AND THAT is with a fixture list of Barcelona at home; Real away.
    • 7' And from the corner Numancia score!!! AMAZING - Moreno is all alone in the box and he guides a header into the corner of the net.
    • 6' A dangerous low cross into the Real box needs Metzelder to get in ahead of Brit and head away for a corner.
    • 5' Real Madrid have had all the possession so far but no chances to speak of.
    • 1' And were are underway here in Madrid.
    • - Welcome to LIVE Liga action as Real Madrid look to recover from their opening day loss to Deportivo as they take on Numancia, who of course beat Barcelona last weekend.
