Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of this La Liga clash between Mallorca and Real Madrid at the Iberostar Estadi in Palma, Mallorca.

The referee blows the half time whistle and the players depart for the break, Higuain and Ronaldo's goals separating the teams by a 2-0 margin.

A heavy foul on Ronaldo by Ximo goes unpunished. Ronaldo rightly goes down and wants a free kick but just gets jeers from the home crowd.

Ozil and Ronaldo combine nicely on the left, before Ronaldo goes on a tricky run and is eventually robbed by Ximo.

Mallorca already look to be waiting for the half time whistle and will be happy to get off without going further behind.

Caparros takes a break from screaming at his own players to berate Higuain for a preceived dive.

Mallorca boss Joaquin Caparros is an animated figure on the touchline, he looks stressed and is trying to influence this game in vain.

Di Maria gets the ball 30 yards out from the resulting corner and tries to pick out Pepe at the far post, the cross just too long for the defender to reach.

Then Modric tries a long distance effort from distance and the shot is deflected out for another Madrid corner.

Mallorca hitman Hemed tries his luck from way out, a half volley dipping but still to high to test Casillas.

It's a cold, cold night in the holiday destination of Mallorca and many of the home supporters have decided to watch this on television tonight as there are empty seats around the ground.

A great first touch by Ozil to bring the ball down in midfield, before his heavy pass to Di Maria runs out on the right.

Ronaldo involved again, fed by Ozil in the box with a good chance to hit the target. This time Ronaldo fires wide. He can sense more goals tonight.

Ronaldo wants another corner, after Madrid get three in two minutes, with the former Manchester United man outjumped by Anderson Conceição who heads clear and chuckles as the referee awards a goal kick.

Another corner for Madrid this time on the left and Pepe is adjudged to have fouled Mallorca 'keeper Aouate.

Higuain wins a corner, taken by Di Maria and cleared by the Mallorcans.

Madrid getting plenty of joy through the middle as Modric, Alonso and Ozil dominate the midfield.

Ronaldo is caught just offside as the ball is pumped forward from the Madrid defence by Pepe.

Real Madrid have not been travelling too well this season having won just two of their five away fixtures thus far in Spain this term, so this is good news for Mourinho so far tonight.

Head tennis in midfield before Mallorca burst forward and Dos Santos blasts over.

So with 17 goals in 14 games in all competitions so far this season Cristiano Ronaldo is the top scorer in any of Europe's big five domestic leagues at present.

That was a typically classy simple finish from the World Player of The Year candidate as he took one touch to beat his marker and drilled home. He is now on an eight match scoring run.
