  • 45'
    Two minutes added!
  • 43'
    Madrid make their fourth effort from the edge of the box, but it comes to nothing. Given the quality of their chances, they really shouldn't still be 0-0.
  • 40'

  • 37'
    Despite Osasuna's rare forays forward, Madrid are still struggling to find a breakthrough and take the lead!

    Herrera has already repelled several Madrid attacks. The goalkeeper is resolute in his determination not to let his opponents score.
  • 25'

  • 22'
    Osasuna's players are completely pinned back in their own half, with Brahim Diaz combining effectively with Tchouameni so far.
  • 20'
    Madrid's defenders are exceptional today! Huijsen takes a chance with a long ball, just as Carreras did earlier in the match. If Madrid don't score, it's simply because they choose not to!
  • 17'
    Madrid win back possession after Budimir snatches it. The visitors don't retain the ball for long.

    The fans in the stands are calling for a foul by Boyomo on Mbappe, but play goes on as usual. The crowd is passionate, if a little opinionated.
  • 12'
    The Osasuna players appear unsettled and a bit sluggish in their defensive movements, though there is no doubt they will fight to launch a counterattack.
  • 10'
    Alexander-Arnold takes his time to link up cleanly with Militao, aware that Madrid are in control right now, both in possession and going forward.
  • 7'
    Real Madrid are carving open Osasuna's defence with their recent promising moves, with Carreras unleashing a strong shot from distance that went just wide. It was extremely close!
