Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey round of 32 tie between Alcoyano and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 20:00 GMT.

Real Madrid are controlling possession in the early stages of this match. They are slowing things down in the centre of the pitch. The hosts are quite happy to stand off them.

This is quite a short pitch and so we might see that long ball tactic from Real Madrid a few times this evening. Can Mariano get in behind? Is there enough space for him to exploit?

Casemiro plays a long ball over the top, but the pass was too heavy for Mariano and the Alcoyano goalkeeper comes off his line to make the straightforward catch. Nice idea.

Real Madrid have had the better of the opening minutes of this match, but Alcoyano are doing a decent job of keeping the door closed at the back. The scrappier, the better for them.

Of course, the final of last season’s Copa del Rey is still to be played. The final between Athletic Club and Real Sociedad has been scheduled for April. They’re waiting for fans to be back in stadiums.

Zidane has stayed away from rotating his squad much in recent weeks and that seemed to cost Real Madrid dearly against Athletic Club. The Spanish champions just looked very tired. But he’s changed things up tonight!

Real Madrid come into this match on the back of a disappointing defeat to Athletic Club in the semi finals of the Spanish Supercopa. They won’t want to crash out of another competition this evening.

This is a bit of a lose-lose situation for Real Madrid. If they play well, people will counter that it was only against lower league opposition. If they lose, though, it will be a mini crisis.

The match is under way! It's Alcoyano against Real Madrid in this Copa del Rey round of 32 tie!
