18' Blocked! Good play by the visitors, they work it well and Lago Junior finds space just inside the penalty area and drills a low effort towards goal. However, Nacho does well to get across and makes a great block.
17' The pace of the game has dropped slightly in the last few minutes, with Madrid not looking particularly eager to go on athe attack themselves and the visitors are starting to grow onto the match.
15' Decent spell of possession here for Mallorca, but Madrid are putting them under a lot of pressure high up the pitch, so they are unable to get into the final third to create anything.
13' Mallorca are having to get everyone back to defend at the moment, in order to prevent Madrid from creating any goalscoring chance and doubling their lead early on. Which may potentially put the game beyond doubt.
11' After going four league visits to Real Madrid without losing between 2000 and 2004 (W3 D1), a run which included their biggest away win in their top-flight history (5-1 in May 2003), Mallorca have since lost nine of their last 10 away games against Madrid in LaLiga (W1).
9' Real Madrid look very comfortable in the opening few minutes of the game, they are dominating possession and are currently camped inside the Mallorca half of the pitch.
7' ALMOST! Madrid go close to doubling their lead direct from a corner! Asensio whips an excellent delivery into the box and it curls dangerously towards the near post, so Reina has to punch it clear off his line. However, he doesn't make great contact with it, but luckily Madrid can't capitalise and Mallorca clear the danger.
5' Decent effort! Kubo picks up a long ball over the top of the Madrid defence and he races down the right wing, before cutting inside and trying to find the bottom left corner of the net. However, his effort is off target and flies wide of goal.
1' We're under way!
