Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary of Real Madrid and Granada CF. Team news for this La Liga clash coming right up.

FULL-TIME! Karim Benzema's second-half goal proves to be the winner. Real Madrid take the three points against a spirited Granada CF.

Four additional minutes to be played.

Granada have a shooting opportunity from a free-kick but they're unable to trouble the goalkeeper, the shot struck straight at the wall.

Yet another penalty appeal and yet again the referee is having none of it. This time Ronaldo looks to be pushed by Doria with the goal at his mercy. It should have been a spot-kick to be honest.

REAL SUB: Third and final change for Rafa Benitez as Isco is replaced by Casemiro.

CHANCE! Cheryshev should double the home side's advantage as the ball falls kindly to the substitution but somehow fires wide from close range.

Granada have been solid in defence throughout and they continue to be disciplined, heading away a couple of Real crosses.

We're into the final 10 minutes of the match and, though Real were expected to hit Granada for at least four or five, the hosts still hold a slender advantage.

PENALTY APPEAL! The home fans aren't happy, they clearly feel Isco was fouled in the penalty area after he fell under the challenge of El-Arabi. On second look a penalty could easily have been given.

REAL SUB: And a second change for the hosts - Denis Cheryshev replaces the goalscorer Benzema.

GRANADA SUB: Third and final change for the visitors - Nico Lopez replaces Mendez.

Isco is fouled giving Real a free-kick in a dangerous area in Ronaldo terrority. Up he steps but the shot is struck straight into the wall.

Real continue to control possession as we proceed into the final 20 minutes. Granada have been rather quiet since Benzema's 55th minute goal. They still have plenty of time to level though.

It's funny how a goal can change a game...

Modric forces a corner - Real's eighth of the game - but they have yet to trouble the visitors from a set-piece.

GRANADA SUB: Fran Rico replaces Rochina.

INCHES WIDE FROM RONALDO! After a terrific individual run the Portugal star just drags his shot wide of the post. It's not going to be his day to break Raul's record, is it?

CLOSE! Best effort of the match from Ronaldo who picks the ball up from 20 yards and shoots at goal forcing Fernandez into a full stretch save. Corner.

REAL SUB: Now the hosts make a change as Mateo Kovacic replaces Kroos who had a rather quiet game it has to be said.
