    • Real Madrid
    • - Real Madrid crash to another humbling defeat, and Valladolid absolutely deserved their victory!
    • 90+4' Into the last minute of stoppage time now, can Real conjure one final chance? No time!! It's all over!
    • 90+2' Final change from Valladolid. Oscar Sanchez comes on for Victor.
    • 90+1' Four minutes of stoppage time to be played!
    • 90' So close Cannavaro!! He meets a corner with a firm header but Pedro Lopez heads it off the line!!
    • 88' Red card Gabriel Heinze! What a fool! He was booked for a bad challenge and is shown a second yellow card for arguing. Idiot. Massive, massive idiot.
    • 87' Incredible miss!! Raul is played clean through by an atrocious backpass by Borja but Asenjo comes to the rescue with a superb save!
    • 82' Baraja (no, not the formerly good one) comes on for the excellent Canobbio.
    • 81' Last throw of the dice from Schuster. Javier Saviola comes on for the unimpressed Higuain.
    • 78' It looks like the Valladolid keeper was just suffering from cramp and he is soon back up on his feet.
    • 76' A great double save from Sergio Asenjo to preserve Valladolid's lead, but he then goes down with an injury.
    • 74' A frustrated-looking foul from Gago, and he earns himself a place in the referee's notebook.
    • 72' Casillas is called into action again to save Real Madrid - they are getting walloped. Seriously, they have done nothing in the second half.
    • 70' Schuster makes another change, and it's an attacking one - Royston Drenthe for Marcelo. He will have licence to bomb forward down the left.
    • 69' Off comes Pedro Leon to be replaced by Borja Fernandez.
    • 64' Schuster has some quality on the bench, particularly in the form of Wesley Sneijder, Javier Saviola and Royston Drenthe - and he has just brought Sneijder on for Van der Vaart.
    • 61' Another Valladolid corner... this time Real get their act together. But the home side come back and win yet another corner...
    • 60' Canobbio goes across to take the Valladolid corner on the right... Cannavaro completely stuffs up the clearance and Victor puts it wide!
    • 59' The corner pinballs around the Valladolid box before coming to Higuain who can only glance his header over. Not an easy chance, in fairness to him.
    • 58' A great defensive challenge to deny Higuain as he bears down on goal... Real Madrid corner now.
    • 56' Sesma causes more trouble down the Valladolid left and Real Madrid are really struggling.
    • 53' Pedro Lopez sends in a cross from the right as Real Madrid continue to reel - this time it comes to nothing.
    • 50' Despair on the Real Madrid bench. Although they are only two points off the top of the table, the pressure on coach Bernd Schuster is intense and defeat here might just finish him off.
    • 48' GOAL!!! Valladolid lead thanks to a fantastic goal from Canobbio! He wallops a left-foot shot into the top-left corner after Gabriel Heinze is absolutely stitched up on the Real Madrid left.
    • 46' The second half gets under way with no personnel changes from either manager.
    • 45+1' Half-time in Valladolid - D, U, double L, dull.
    • 43' Raul heads straight at Asenjo, but that is about as close as Real Madrid have come in the first half.
    • 38' Smart defensive work from Cannavaro to nab the ball off Sesma - that was a dangerous position for Real Madrid.
    • 36' Guti slides in with a rash challenge and that is another booking.
    • 35' Raul finds Higuain and it takes a good Garcia Calvo challenge to dispossess him.
    • 33' Van der Vaart is booked for a wild challenge and Valladolid come forward. It has been a fairly even game so far.
    • 30' Guti has hurt his hand. Have you noticed how much he changes the name on the back of his shirt? He's been through J.M. Guti, Guti H. and now Guti Haz. Just saying..
    • 27' Higuain beats two players and plays a give and go, but cannot collect the return pass.
    • 24' This is drab stuff. Oh so drab. Maybe the Galactico era wasn't so bad after all.
    • 20' Gonzalo Higuain has the only shot on target of the game so far, but it is pretty easy for Valladolid keeper Sergio Asenjo.
    • 15' Garcia Calvo is booked for a clumsy foul - the first yellow card of the game.
    • 12' The corner comes in to the unmarked GARCIA CALVO!! Casillas saves a relatively poor header! Abysmal marking. Absolutely absymal.
    • 12' Great interplay between Sesma and Victor, and Gago is forced to put the ball over for a corner.
    • 10' A Valladolid defensive slip nearly lets Van der Vaart through on the left hand side, but the ball eludes him and skips through to the goalkeeper.
    • 5' A quiet opening, not much from either side. Real Madrid's confidence is at rock bottom and it shows, although Valladolid are letting them settle into the game.
    • 1' We're under way! There is plenty at stake for Madrid tonight, as they are ensuring some rotten form, have lost Ruud van Nistelrooy for the season and were knocked out of the cup by a third division side in midweek. Will they turn it around or continue to slide?
