Real Madrid avoid Alcoyano upset - as it happened

Militao heads home Rodrygo's corner beating the goalkeeper to put the ball in the back of the net.

LUNIN TIPS WIDE OF THE POST

Blanco had a free kick fully 35 yards from goal tapped to him and the defender rifled a ball which the Real keeper dived to his left to keep out.

As Casemiro goes for a high ball with a raised foot, but there was minimal if any contact with Primi who is fine to continue.

Over a third of the way into the game. Could there be another upset.

Andy's set piece is put into the danger area just outside the six-yard box but Lunin dives forward to punch clear.

The Brazilian is lucky not to get a yellow card but Alcoyano have a chance to put a ball into the box.

But his effort is blocked by Blanco.

But the Brazilian does not have enough room to unleash a rocket and the danger is snuffed out.

ANDY INTO THE SIDE-NETTING

He weaved around defenders in the left hand side of the penalty area before shooting from a narrow angle just wide of the near post.

CASEMIRO TRIES TO FIND HAZARD

With a dink into the box but Alovoyano clear. Real Madrid enjoying some play in the home side's half at last.

No penalty is given though. The replays suggest the referee was right.

But no one can get on the end of it.

The corner falls to Blanco eight yards out and he shoots at goal but his effort is headed away by Camavinga.

He loops an effort from the edge of the box that Lunin tips over the bar.

But the linesman stops him with a raised flag.

They beat Real Madrid here 2-1 last year, can they do so again?

A big price there, but even though Real are missing probably their four best players and goalkeeper, it doesn't feel that tempting with a lot of veterans still in the Real side.

The centre forward has been at Real for three-and-a-half years when he moved from Lyon, but opportunities have been scarce. At the very least you would think a good performance tonight might see interest in him in this transfer window.

Alcoyano earned the right to play Real by winning 3-0 at Badajoz and then defeating Levante on penalties after a 3-3 draw.
