2nd Half
45'
Sheriff get us back underway. I can't see any changes...
End of 1st Half
45'
HALF TIME! Kroos had the last kick. Madrid have been effective and efficient. They lead 2-0.
45'
GOOOOOALL!! Kroos' strike comes off the bar and lands over the line... just. Lovely finish. 0-2 Madrid.

This time it is Benzema,. and it iis into the wall, tamely...
44'
Kroos fouled. Free kick Madrid. Alaba perks up....
41'
Speak of the devil. GHe finds Carvajal, who volleys just over. Much better from the visitors.
39'
Because Sheriff are crowding the middle of the pitch, it makes sense for Vinicius to hug the touchline. But Real aren't fimding him enough and he isn't effecting the game.
38'
Rare break for Sheriff, and it ends in a wasted shot from Till, who really should have picked a better option.
33'
Madrid have taken the lead at an ideal time. Sheriff can't exude themselves so much now.
30'
GOOOOAAAALLLL!! Alaba's free kick deflects off Cristiano and gives Athanasiadis no chance. 0-1 Madrid.

27'
Real Madrid have stepped it up, granted, but Sheriff have also retreated and have been much less threatening for the last 10 minutrs or so. Still 0-0.
23'
The corner idn';t cleared far sand eventually the ball makes it Rodrygo, who clips the ball into Benzema, but he can;t keep his header down.
23'
Lovely skill from Rodrygo on the right, but Dulanto is there to concede the corner.
21'
Madrid are having to be very patient here. It is a very even game.
18'
SHOT! Rodrygo shoots from the edge of the area after a lovely move involving Modric and Carvajal, but it is well held by Athanasiadis.
15'
Sheriff are not only effectively going direct in attack, but they are keeping shape in defence. Vinicius just won a corner, but it was cleared well.
13'
Sheriff are getting the set pieces but not taking advantage of them.
12'
They go short and recycle the play. When it comes back, Traore flicks on for Kolovos, who wins another corner.
11'
Sheriff are going direct and getting in past Madrid's midfield. Traore is fouled by Militao, and Mendy puts the kick out for a corner.
10'
Benzema puts the ball in the net after Kroos' shot is parried. Offside, but Madrid are stepping it up here.
