Live Commentary
Time:90'- Real Madrid
- Real Zaragoza
90+4' There goes the final whistle! A 4-0 win for Real Madrid. Thanks for joining us this evening.
90+1' GOAL! Modric scores his first goal for the club as Mourinho heads up the tunnel. A 4-0 win. Ball slides low into the net after Roberto had kept out the header from Ronaldo.- 89' We are into three minutes of time added on.
- 88' GOAL! A third goal for Real Madrid as Essien races onto a pass from Benzema to slide the ball home. 3-0 doesn't really tell the story of this match.
- 87' Zaragoza would dearly love a consolation as Sergio Ramos heads the ball away from Aranda.
86' Jose Mari makes way for Romaric. Looks to be job done for Real Madrid, however unimpressive their second-half performance has been.- 85' Nacho has replaced Arbeloa for the home side.
84' Ronaldo thumps a shot at goal from fully 35 yards out. Roberto got a touch on the ball. What a strike that is as the ball comes back off the bar.- 83' Aranda just fails to connect with a ball into the area as it skips off the surface and out for a goalkick to the home team.
- 82' A surging run into the home box by Minero, but his shot is lifted over the bar.
- 81' Postiga departs to be replaced by Carlos Aranda.
- 80' Apono picks out Jose Mari, but nobody in the middle to convert the ball across goal.
- 79' Zaragoza, who arrowly avoided relegation last season, had won their last two matches coming here and climbed to ninth. They won 3-2 the Bernabeu in April 2011.
- 78' Zaragoza looking to set up a grandstand finish in this game with a goal. Unlucky not to have one to their name for their efforts in the second period.
77' Cristian Sapunaru in the book for tugging back on the shirt of Ronaldo.- 76' Victor Rodriguez makes way to be replaced by Javi Alamo.
75' An offside flag goes up against Postiga. Looks like there is going to be another change coming for the visiting side this time.- 74' Di Maria is going to depart with a goal on his 100th appearance for the club. Not much has happened in the second period as Cajellon is introduced.
- 73' Ronaldo tries to earn some space. Fires a shot at goal from distance, but straight into the arms of Roberto.
- 72' Ozil trying to play Ronaldo in on the run, but ball runs out of play. More frustration for the home fans.
- 71' A booking for Minero, who is deemed to have fouled Di Maria. Didn't look to be too much in that, it must be said.
- 70' Mourinho decides to make a change as Benzema is brought on for Higuain.
- 69' Lovely control by Postiga from Movilla's pass and a brilliant finish, but given offside when it wasn't. Awful decision by the officials.
- 68' Zaragoza earn another corner here. Casillas far from happy about what is going in front of him. Loovens inches away from connecting as Montanes sends the ball in.
- 67' Pepe sweeps a loose ball away from his own goal. Decent clearance. And had to be. This is not a convincing performance by the home team in this second period.
- 66' Sergio Ramos is booked for a late challenge on Montanes out wide.
- 65' Jose Mari sees a shot come back off the bar from distance with Casillas beaten! What a hit that was, but Zaragoza denied by the woodwork. So unfortunate.
- 64' Arbeloa penalised for a late challenge as Zaragoza look to get on the front foot here.
- 63' Modric lifts the ball over the bar from the cutback by Ronaldo. Good marking again by Zaragoza.
- 62' Casillas dives low to his left to claw away a longer ranger from Montanes. Good hit, but the goalkeeper made a timely stop.
- 61' Montanes delivers the corner. Attacked by a black and yellow shirt, but Real Madrid do enough to scramble the ball away.
- 60' Thankfully no damage done as Zaragoza earn themselves a corner.
- 59' Loovens is on the deck here after being taken out by his own goalkeeper with Ozil challenging.
- 58' The home side have not really got started in this second half. Would have been interesting if that shot had hit the back of the net.
- 57' Superb diving save by Casillas to claw out the shot by Rodriguez. Excellent save by the Spain goalkeeper.
- 56' An offside flag is raised against Higuain from Di Maria's pass.
- 55' Essien gives the ball away to Movilla, but Apono can only drag a cross harmlessly across the face of the visiting goal.
- 54' Zaragoza have tried to stem the tide in this half and they have made a fair job of it. Can they claw themselves back into matters with a goal?
- 53' Roberto taking no chances as he wallops the ball long down the park under pressure from Higuain.
- 52' Another decision goes against the home shirts as this time Ronaldo strays offside.
- 51' Essien slides in Higuain, who has just strayed offside.
- 50' Gorgeous cross into the middle by Di Maria, but just fails to pick out the run of Higuain. Lovely inventive play.
- 49' Albiol taken out of the action late by Postiga. Di Maria brings it forward for the home side.
- 48' Modric slides the ball into the path of Di Maria, but Roberto is quickly off his line to collect.
- 47' The home side keeping the ball at the back. In no rush to press forwards as Essien collects the loose ball in the midfield area.
46' We are off and running in the second half.- 45' There goes the whistle for the break. Plenty of work to be done by the visitors in the second period.
- 44' Not going to be much time added to this first period.
- 43' Sergio Ramos rises to win the ball in the middle of the box. We remain at 2-0 in favour of the home side.
- 42' Apono trying to provide some threat before Sergio Ramos wins the ball from Montanes.
- 41' Zaragoza haven't really carved open the home side since the opening minutes as Postiga is caught offside again.
- 40' Real Madrid players wearing shirts before the match to support Marcelo, who is missing with a broken ankle.
- 39' Di Maria drops a ball across the face of the Zaragoza goal, but no takers on hand to convert.
- 38' Loovens again having to scamper back to head the ball back to Roberto in the visiting goal.
- 37' Montanes trying to join the party. Skipped up the park, but ends up screwing the shot wide of the target.
- 36' Looked to be handball against Postiga. Meanwhile, Modric has been booked for a late chalenge.
- 35' Flag goes up against Postiga. Sergio Ramos very fortunate after giving the ball away for no apparent reason.
- 34' Ronaldo taken out of the action late by María Movilla around the halfway stage.
- 33' Real Madrid slowing the passing down to walking pace deep in their own half.
- 32' Zaragoza struggling to keep the ball for more than a few passes as Roberto comes off his line to collect a cross ball.
- 31' Ramos launches a long ball down the park before Essien collects. Madrid turning defence into attack in the space of a few seconds.
- 30' Essien with a poor pass to Albiol, who is forced to ride a crunching tackle in clearing the danger.
- 29' Arbeloa having to time the bounce of a ball in his box before heading back to Casillas.
- 28' The home fans in party mood as Real Madrid continue to keep the ball. Even a spot of singing breaking out around the ground which is always a good sign.
- 27' Ronaldo makes room for the shot inside the opposing box, but just drags the shot wide. Madrid warming to the task out there.
- 26' The visiting defenders nowhere to be seen and suddenly Zaragoza are in deep trouble having to chase the game so early on. Could be a long, long night.
- 25' GOAL! Di Maria makes it two for Real Madrid. Roberto kept out the first shot, but couldn't halt the second one. Superb finish high into the net from an acute angle.
- 24' That should settle the nerves of the home side, who have hardly been overly convincing up to this point.
- 23' GOAL! Higuain scores for Real Madrid. Roberto made a brilliant stop from Albiol's header but was helpless to halt the rebound. Lovely corner by Modric.
- 22' Victor Rodriguez makes a hopeful run up the park before falling. Appeals for a free-kick, but nothing doing.
- 21' Ozil throws over a corner before Albiol sees a shot deflect behind for another corner.
- 20' Fine stop by Casillas. Brilliant save from the shot by Postiga after he danced beyond Pepe. Real warning for the home side.
- 19' Loovens across to shield the ball away from Higuain as Roberto comes off his line to collect. So far, so good for the visitors.
- 18' Lovely ball into the area by Apono, but nobody following the line of the ball. Sergio Ramos has possession deep in his own half.
- 17' Ronaldo nods the ball over the bar. Just couldn't time his run. Zaragoza survive that hairy situation.
- 16' Montanes clatters Di Maria with a late challenge. Zaragoza with plenty of bodies behind the ball here closing down space.
- 15' Alvaro this time makes a confident tackle as he wins the ball from Higuain after he darted up the park.
- 14' Not sure what the visiting defenders Loovens or Alvaro where doing there. Neither seemed ready to pick up the run of Ronaldo.
- 13' Di Maria with a lovely ball down the middle of the park. Picks out Ronaldo, who just fails to direct the header goalwards.
- 12' An offside flag goes up against Postiga seconds later.
- 11' Pepe goes through the back of Postiga and that will be a free-kick to the visiting side around the halfway line.
- 10' Here is the report from Barcelona in case you are wondering what went on.... Messi in scare as Barcelona beat Celta
- 9' Loovens comes across to nudge the ball off Higuain as Real Zaragoza earn the goalkick. Experienced piece of defending.
- 8' The home side earn a free-kick out wide. Di Maria swings it in, but fails to beat the first man. That is poor, poor delivery.
- 7' Modric is closed down in the middle of the park after Ronaldo carried it forwards. Zaragoza fairly snapping into the challenges out there.
- 6' Ronaldo opts for the cross instead of the shot. The visiting side doing well to snuff out the danger by getting bodies back to defend.
- 5' Loovens takes out Ronaldo with a late challenge. 30 yards from goal. Ronaldo is sizing this shot up here.
- 4' Cristian Sapunaru with a throw-in out wide. Postiga penalised for a spot of late play as the ball flies miles over the bar.
- 3' Some lovely play by Ronaldo out wide. Tries to throw over the cross, but a fine piece of defending by Cristian Sapunaru.
- 2' Real Madrid 11 points behind leaders Barcelona before they begin tonight after their fierce rivals completed a 3-1 win over Celta Vigo moments ago.
1' We are off and running then in this one.- 18.55 Real boss Jose Mourinho remains without the injured Sami Khedira and central midfield partner Xabi Alonso, who is suspended for the game at the Bernabeu after picking up a fifth yellow card last weekend. "I would like to have Khedira and Xabi, obviously, but there is no problem as we have the squad to cope with these things," said Mourinho. "We don't have Xabi and Khedira but we have other players we will use and we are confident we can get the points which are so important."
