Zidane will want his side to score a second goal to eliminate some of the nerves from this match. As long as it stays 1-0, Alcoyano have a chance of finding an equaliser.

There is speculation that Marcelo could be on his way out of Real Madrid this summer. The Brazilian is on big wages at the club and so the arrival of Alaba could help in this regard.
51'
Into the box! Marcelo sends the low cross into the opposition penalty box, but nobody in a white shirt could get on the end of the delivery and Alcoyano survive. No takers. Nobody gambling.

Of course, Real Madrid had a free weekend after being knocked out of the Spanish Supercopa. That was one benefit, so they should be pretty fresh this evening.

Real Madrid found the breakthrough right at the end of the first half. Can they build on that or wil they come under more pressure from Alcayano now they have to come out and play?

Odriozola gets a cross into the Alcoyano box from the right side, but it's cleared on the stretch and the home side survive again. In fairness, they haven't had all that much to face.

42'
Can Real Madrid create a true goalscoring chance before the half time whistle? It's all been a bit disjointed from the Spanish champions in the opening 45 minutes of this cup tie.
41'
Of course, Alaba would provide some depth at left back. He played there for a number of seasons, but the Austrian has more recently moved into a central role. What is Real Madrid’s plan for him?
40'
Alaba would be a signing for Real Madrid, especially as a free agent, but where would he fit into Zidane’s team? Is he a long-term replacement for Ramos? They’re very different types of defenders!
38'
This week saw reports surface that Real Madrid have reached an agreement with David Alaba to sign the Austrian defender at the end of the season. He is out of contract at Bayern Munich this summer.
37'
It's quite a poor pitch the two teams are playing on this evening. Real Madrid are dealing okay with it, but it makes slick play around the attacking third quite difficult.
36'
Zidane will be pleased with how his Real Madrid have controlled the majority of the possession so far, but he will surely want them to do more with it in the final third.

Lunin makes the save! That was a decent stop from the Real Madrid debutant goalkeeper. He tips a Jona header over the crossbar. He might have done better with that chance!
