Well, that was unexpected. Real Madrid were on top for much of the first half, but they struggled to create much in the way of goalscoring opportunities and Villlarreal took their opportunity from the spot. Tweet me your thoughts!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 0 Villarreal 1 (46 mins - Bruno Soriano pen). Cool as you like! Bruno steps up to the penalty spot and Panenkas his effort straight down the middle, with Casilla diving to his left. The visitors have the lead!

That's a blow for Real Madrid just before the break, Marcelo is having to come off.

Although Villarreal deserve a large share of the credit for the way their game plan has worked so far. The Yellow Submarine will be pleased with how things are going at the moment.

Zidane needs to change things up at the half time break. Maybe not in terms of the players on the pitch, but certainly in terms of their approach in the final third. Stagnant so far.

That was rather ambitious. Dos Santos takes a lovely touch to control a pass, with the ball sitting up nicely for him. He spots Casilla off his line but completely slices his lob. Whoops!

BALE TAKES A SHOT! The Welshman takes control of the ball about 25 yards out and gets an effort away on goal. There was power on it, but it flashed past the post with Asenjo unconcerned.

There is a growing sense of frustration around the Bernabeu. The home side have enjoyed the majority of possession, but they are struggling to create much in the final third.
37'
The tempo of this game has slowed down in the last few moments. This will suit Villarreal. They look quite happy just to sit deep and absorb pressure from Real Madrid.

That last opportunity on goal came from even more dirty work from James, this time out on the left wing, winning the ball. The Colombian has been the best player on the pitch so far.

Ronaldo has a header on goal, forcing the diving save from Asenjo, but the Real Madrid number seven was blown up for a foul on Angel. He doesn't agree with the referee's decision.
33'
As much as Real Madrid have undoubtedly been on top in this match, Villarreal still carry a threat of their own and that was illustrated by Cheryshev's chance on goal moments ago.

CHERYSHEV'S SHOT IS SAVED! The former Real Madrid player takes a snapshot from the edge of the penalty area, but Casilla pushes up a hand to make the save over his bar.

James is on a mission to make an impression this evening. The Colombian is covering more ground than anyone else, tracking back, making tackles, pushing forward, doing it all.
