Well, that wasn't exactly a hugely entertaining season opener for Real Madrid. There were few opportunities. The champions saw the majority of the ball, but failed to do much with it. Real Sociedad had a couple of good chances, but lacked any real cutting edge in front of goal. A draw was a fair result.

Into the final minute of stoppage time at the Anoeta... will there be one last opportunity? Score chances have been few and far between this evening. Real Madrid are the ones pressing.

Another change for Real Sociedad. Would they be happy with a point? This is another holding midfielder.

Silva shot blocked! That could have been the moment! The space opened up for Silva just inside the Real Madrid box, but Varane did well to charge down the effort from the playmaker!

Remiro just about gets the pass out to Le Normand under pressure from Benzema. We've already seen one blunder from a Spanish goalkeeper today at Stamford Bridge!

It says a lot about how Jovic is viewed at the Santiago Bernabeu that he hasn't been introduced for the final stages of this match. What is the Serbian's future as a Real Madrid player?
84'
Real Madrid have been the masters of late goals under Zidane. Can they find another here? It doesn't really feel like they are battering down the door. La Real seem comfortable.
83'
This has the air of a contest between two tired teams now. Things are starting to open up, but not because of any great quality, but because these players are now slowing as they track back.

Silva is back in La Liga!

Still no way through for Real Madrid and time is running out for them to earn the three points to get their title defence up and running. They haven't had many scoring chances.
80'
Chance for Marvin! The debutant was presented with a good chance after some good work by Benzema and Vinicius, but Marvin couldn't get his shot away and was crowded out.
79'
The game is certainly getting more stretched now. Zidane introduced Casemiro and Valverde to stop that from happening, but Real Sociedad are doing their best to run the channels.

After all the subs off the bench, it's only now that the match is settling down again. Silva is starting to find his feet as a Real Sociedad player. He is already seeing plenty of the ball.

Benzema attempts to play a wall pass around the corner for Vinicius, but the Brazilian winger failed to hold his run and the flag is up on the far side for offside. Nice idea from Benzema.
