Good chance! Mir gets past Militao and surges towards the Real Madrid goal off the right wing, but the angle was tight and he could only send his shot wide of the near post. He will pose a threat!

Huesca were well beaten by Real Sociedad last weekend. That was the only time so far this season that they have been out-classed this season. They are a tough team to beat.

Vazquez at right back for Real Madrid this afternoon. Zidane has injuries to both Carvajal and Odriozola to contend with at the moment and so a winger is playing in that role today.

It’s been a mixed week for Real Madrid. They won the first Clasico of the season last weekend, but then had to fight back from 2-0 down against Borussia Monchengladbach during the week to salvage a point.

Modric was in behind! That was an early chance for Real Madrid, with Modric getting in behind down the right side. But the clearance is made inside the area. Home side on top early on.
