Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Las Palmas and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens. Kick-off: 19.45.

This has been a great game to watch so far, but it could do with some quality in the final third. Both teams have struggled to take their chances when they have created them.

WAS THAT A PENALTY? Morata goes down inside the penalty area under the late challenge of Aythemi, but the referee waves away the claims. There was something in that.

Las Palmas are looking more confident with every passing minute. They are feeling their way into the contest and I get the feeling they could produce some big opportunities not before long.

The final pass has been missing from Real Madrid's play in this first half so far. They looked good until they get to the edge of the penalty area and then their moves are breaking down.

VIEIRA GETS THE SHOT AWAY! The Las Palmas midfielder drives forward to the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area, but his low shot is saved on the stretch by Casilla.

Bale and Ronaldo need to step up their game here. Morata has been at the centre of everything in these opening 27 minutes, but two members of the BBC have been very quiet.

Morata just couldn't contort his body enough to get the power he needed on the overhead kick. Carvajal won the ball and crossed into the box, but Las Palmas just about held firm.

GOALMOUTH SCRAMBLE! Carvajal bursts into the box, squares for Ronaldo who is bundled off the ball, Morata's shot is blocked and Carvajal commits a foul on Garcia. Good chance, that.

That's such a cheap yellow card to concede, deliberately blocking a Modric freekick.

Real Madrid haven't made the most of the opportunities they have created for themselves. They have found themselves in some dangerous positions, but they have done little.

With Marcelo missing Real Madrid are starting Nacho in the left back position for this game. He is the Spanish football equivalent of John O'Shea. He can play anywhere along the backline.

This has turned into quite an open encounter in the last few moments. Las Palmas are an entertaining side and they are looking to push forward just as much as Real Madrid.

FIRST CHANCE FOR BALE! For the first time in the match the Welsh winger gets the chance to drive at the Las Palmas shot, but his effort is blocked once he gets into the box.

MORATA SHOT ON GOAL! The Real Madrid striker gets his effort away on target but Varas makes the relatively simple save. Morata was trying to bend it into the corner of the net.

Las Palmas have actually edged the possession so far. There is certainly a confidence to their play when they have the ball at their feet, the problem is they haven't done much with it.

RONALDO GETS HIS FEET IN A MUDDLE! That was a good opportunity for the Portuguese, but he got the ball stuck under his feet from a Morata pull back. The chance disappeared.

Real Madrid have been the better of the two teams early on in this first half, but besides Morata's headed chance they haven't created much in the final third. They need to be more productive.

RONALDO GOES TO GROUND! Real Madrid want a freekick for a handball by a Las Palmas defender, then Ronaldo hits the deck in the box, but Michel won the ball cleanly.

What is noticeable about this Real Madrid performance so far is that there isn't much of a link between the back four and the midfield. That's where they miss someone like Casemiro.

I get the feeling that if Las Palmas are to take anything from this game they will need Varas to have the game of his life in goal.
