Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's live text coverage of Real Madrid's visit to Cadiz. Stay tuned for every kick, goal and slice of action right here.

Rodrygo shows what he's all about, turning away from his marker and leaving him in his wake, but a heavy touch dribbles out for a goal kick and the danger is averted.

Varane is cautioned for not allowing Ledesma to take the goal kick.

Ooh... neat interplay from Madrid, stemming from the debutant Blanco, whose penetrative ball into the feet of Benzema falls through to Vinicius, who earns the visitors the corner.

50/50 possession so far. Surprising.

Cadiz certainly aren't afraid to attack Real down the flanks - Jairo and Salvi are looking to get at Odriozola and Marcelo and exploit the space left in behind them. The only problem facing them after that is the recovery pace of Militao and Varane, but Salvi is trying to highlight and exploit Nacho, the slowest of the three on the Real left.

Good pressure from Jairo down the left, hustling Odriozola, and he's unlucky not to earn a corner off the Real right wing-back.

Free kick delivered deep by Marcelo... Militao gets his head onto it, but can only steer it wide of the target.

The first shot on target falls way of Cadiz...Jairo the provider of it, but Courtois holds and Real recycle possession.

Blanco fouls Mari, Cadiz free kick. The hosts aren't afraid to get stuck in and go long as well, and Ledesma will look for the head of Negredo here again.

It's delivered by Mari, but it's cleared and Vinicius is off down the left, until he's hauled to the ground by Salvi, who takes the yellow card.

Salvi felled by Nacho in the wide right channel. Free kick Cadiz, chance here for the hosts to swing the ball in.

More patient build-up from Madrid - Nacho assumes the role of overlapping centre back down the left, but is stopped after a miscommunication with Vinicius.

It's clear the instructions given to Vinicius and Rodryo - run directly at the home defence and isolate individuals - Rodrygo is halted on the edge of the area, and the ball falls for Blanco, but he can only fire wide and Cadiz can get it forward.

It's a 4-4-2 shape for Cadiz - sitting deep already, Madrid getting comfortable in possession.

Off we go.

The managers shake hands, and the players are in formation.

Here they come. Can Madrid shut out the outside noise and concentrate on their title assault?

5 minutes. The teams are on the way.

10 minutes to go.

A fairly strong bench for Madrid as well tonight: Isco, Carvajal, Asensio, Mariano the standout names.

20 minutes to kick off.
