  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Real Madrid
    • Osasuna
    • 90+3 Final whistle, not a great game and Osasuna were effectively robbed of at least a point by horrible refereeing and bad, bad goalkeeping.
    • 90+1 Robben on the right, he cuts inside and unleashes a shot but it's straight at Roberto AND OH NO HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! What a howler! Even worse than the first one as he lets it through his arms! 3-1.
    • 88' WHAT A MISS BY MARCELO! The wingback puts the ball wide from close range after the ball breaks to him. To be fair, Roberto hurled himself out and the referee gives a corner.
    • 86' Robben with a great run on the left but he pulls the shot just wide of the far post.
    • 83' Oh no. The referee has made one of the biggest mistakes I have ever seen. He has shown Juanfran a second yellow card for diving. That was NOT a dive, Pepe goes right on to his foot, a clear penalty. Indeed, the first yellow for diving was harsh too as it was a foul by Gago. Shocking refereeing. Juanfran is crying and you can't blame him. Alfonso Perez Burrull should never work again. Both were cast-iron penalties. Osasuna are livid, Camacho looks like he's ready to kill someone.
    • 81' Juanfran is on the ball, he runs through and that's a foul and a penalty! Pepe appeared to trip him but what is going on...
    • 78' MADRID SUB: Higuain off for Marcelo.
    • 76' Van der Vaart plays it wide to Robben, who sets up Huntelaar but his shot is well wide from distance. Embarassing effort. All three of those chaps are Dutch, by the way.
    • 75' Free-kick to Osasuna, Juanfran knocks it into the box and Portillo flicks it across goal but no-one can get a killer touch and it's out for a goal-kick!
    • 71' Javi Flano is the latest Osasuna man to be booked, handball.
    • 69' Higuain plays Huntelaar in but he shoots straight at Roberto! He was offside anyway it turns out.
    • 67' Punal is booked for sliding in late on Gago.
    • 66' OSASUNA SUB: Plasil comes off for former Madrid striker Portillo, who missed a penalty in the midweek Copa defeat to Athletic Club.
    • 63' Raul on the ball coming towards the box on the right, he goes inside to Higuain who taps it wide left to Robben who races into the area and drills a low cross beyond Roberto AND HIGUAIN WITH A SIMPLE FINISH FROM CLOSE RANGE FOR 2-1! His 12th of the campaign and Real are in front.
    • 61' Another yellow card, Heinze this time for going into the back of Juanfran with an arm raised. Now he's rowing with the ref, and Pandiani, he's losing control a bit...
    • 57' Cynical foul by Ramos on Masoud. He's booked but the free-kick is cleared.
    • 55' Higuain gets the ball on the edge of the D, good play to cut between two defenders and he goes down under a challenge by Flano but that was a dive, yellow card.
    • 52' Pandiani almost latches on to a good ball into the box but Pepe intercepts welll and Real clear.
    • 49' Sergio Ramos surges forward, cutting inside from the right and he smashes a low drive on goal AND A TERRIBLE HOWLER FROM ROBERTO WHO LETS IT SQUIRM THROUGH HIS HANDS FOR THE EQUALISER! 1-1! The shot was straight at him but he flapped wildly and it went in! Oh dear.
    • 46' Second half underway! Two changes for Madrid - Huntelaar and Van der Vaart are on for Sneijder and Canavarro.
    • 45+3 Robben runs through and goes down in the box but never a foul, play on. The whistle goes, a shock lead into the break for Osasuna!
    • 45+2 Masoud is booked for a foul on Gago during a corner, he must have said something.
    • 45' Three minutes stoppage time being played...
    • 44' OSASUNA SUB: Javier Flano comes on for the stricken Monreal who came back on but leaves again on a stretcher. Looks like a heavy bruise to his thigh.
    • 42' Raul latches on to the ball, Raul is through, he can equalise but Josexto gets between him and Roberto to block the finish! Great defending but Raul could have shot earlier.
    • 40' This isn't good, Monreal is carried off on a stretcher...
    • 39' Higuain is played in but Monreal is ahead of him and it's back with Roberto. Higuain tripped Monreal at the end and he appears to be seriously hurt.
    • 38' Free-kick to Real around 35 yards out which Sneijder will take, very central... He lofts it into the box and a great diagonal run across the wall by Ramos sees him rise to beat Roberto and equalise! But no, the flag is up! The replay shows that, for all the smartness of the diagonal run, he unnecessarily started it from a slightly offside position.
    • 36' Raul zips down the left and sends a high cross in for Higuain but Roberto plucks it from above his head.
    • 34' Real are still shell-schocked from conceding that goal, they are barely escaping their own half at the moment.
    • 30' Casillas is called into action again from a Pandiani header.
    • 23' Free-kick to Real on the left, which Sneijder will swing in... good delivery too and Sergio Ramos rises but his header flies over!
    • 20' Osasuna come forward, Plasil on the left, he digs out a superb cross AND WHAT A LEAP BY NEKOUNAM TO HEAD PAST CASILLAS INTO THE TOP LEFT FOR 1-0! Osasuna take a shock lead, but was that a foul by Miguel Flano on Fabio Canavarro? Looked it to me, and he probably would have beaten the Iranian to it.
    • 18' Heinze gets caught out of position and Juanfran has time and space to shoot from the right-hand side of the box but Casillas blocks!
    • 16' Sneijder on the ball, he wriggles one way, then the next but his shot is blocked.
    • 13' Heinze appeals to the ref after Juanfran goes down really in the box under a Gago tackle. The ref belatedly decides to book him for simulation. Shocking decision - it was a double foul, he first caught him with his thigh and then the trailing leg. How can you think that's a dive when he came right across him like that? There was nowhere for Juanfran to go except over.
    • 10' Osasuna are looking marginally more confident now, stroking the ball about nicely.
    • 7' Robben on the ball, he swerves one way, then another and he's in the box and has a shot but deflected and just wide of the left-hand post! Great run by the Dutchman.
    • 4' Pandiani has a chance with a free header in the Madrid box but he misjudges it and sends it well wide!
    • 2' Higuain on the right, he cuts inside, beats two men and fires a low drive on goal that Roberto blocks! Almost an early opener for Madrid!
    • 1' Match underway!
