90' + 8' FULL-TIME: DEPORTIVO ALAVES 1-2 REAL MADRID
85' Madrid are working the ball around neatly now and are keeping things ticking as they run the clock down.
83' Garcia has scored in each of his two league home games against Real Madrid. Los Blancos are the only side that he has scored more than once against in LaLiga.
75' We're finally back under way and Alaves have a substitution prepared.
73' The players are still waiting for the referee to sort his earpiece out and are doing their best to keep warm in the pouring rain in the meantime.
63' Ramos is also booked for the foul that led to the spot-kick.
63' PENALTY TO ALAVES! Ramos catches Joselu in the face with an elbow as he tries to ease the striker off the ball and clear and the referee points to the spot!
52' GOAL! RAMOS GIVES REAL MADRID THE LEAD! Kroos floats a free-kick into the box and the centre-half deftly glances the ball into the bottom-left corner! It's 1-0 to Madrid!
46' We're back under way for the second half!
45' + 3' HALF-TIME: DEPORTIVO ALAVES 0-0 REAL MADRID
27' CHANCE! The ball goes over the top again into a crowded box and Bale gets free at the far post but can only divert tamely at Pacheco on the stretch.
22' Alaves sweep forward themselves and Duarte lofts a cross into the middle of the box, but Areola is off his line confidently to claim it.
20' Marcelo charges down the left and plays it towards the byline for Benzema inside the box. The striker tries to cut back to the Brazilian, who had darted into the middle, but it's hacked away.
11' Ramos slides in to deny Joselu a shooting chance from inside the box. That was a risk from the Blancos captain, but he got it right this time.
10' POST! Isco swings a great ball in from the left that Bale gets the slightest touch on as he runs into the box. His flicked header leaves Pacheco rooted to the spot, but it bounces back off the face of the near post!
3' Real Madrid are dominating the ball early on and are looking for the long diagonal to Bale in behind. It's not come off just yet, however.
1' We're off! Real Madrid get us under way.
