Match report in news

120'

+2 minutes to play. Nail-biting stuff. Benzema hits one wide with moments to go.
118'

Real Madrid are putting Alcoyano under siege but they can't get anything to stick! Alcoyano with 10 men just had a dangerous counter attack. What is going on?
116'

Unbelievable. If Alcoyano hold on they will have just pulled off one of the most memorable giant killings in recent history.

114'

Alcoyano!!!!!!!!!! Unreal scenes! Juanan is the hero who puts it in the back of the net at the near post.

113'

Real Madrid seem just seconds from scoring! FK on the edge of the area.
111'

José Juan next United signing? Another wonder save with his feet to stop Real Madrid in their tracks.

108'

Alcanayo down to 10! A double yellow for a tough challenge.

107'

Alcoyano now playing for penalties against a Real Madrid that seem to have stepped it up a gear.
105'

On to the second part of extra time still tied up!
102'

Asensio fires one in from a narrow angle at the near post and José Juan fumbles it but manages to keep it out! Man of the match for the keeper if he keeps this up!
99'

Alcoyano have really come into their own in extra time and look threatening on the ball. This really could go either way!

Substitution

98'

Kroos and Hazard enter the game! Zidane isn't playing around anymore.

97'

José Juan makes a great clearance to stop the corner and allow a throw in away from danger.
96'

Alcoyano mounting the pressure on Real Madrid and the Whites look to Casemiro to pull off 2 important clearances in a matter of minutes.
94'

Alcoyano are making REal Madrid sweat as they become more and more comfortable on the ball.
92'

Marcelo brings down the winger and the play is brought back for Alcoyano's FK.
91'

Let's see what is in store for us here!

End of match

90'

Extra time it is! The FK is fired into a block of players and deflected out.
90'

Real Madrid have a FK on the edge of the box. Expertly won by Vinicius.
90'

Chust clashes head in an aerial duel and looks to be in pain. He will play on.
90'

+3 on the clock.
89'

Real Madrid complaining about a penalty from a foul after the scramble in the box. It looks like they may be right looking at the replay!
87'

Real Madrid fire in a FK from a dangerous position and after a scramble in the box José Juan kills the ball.
85'

José Juan keeps Alcoyano in the game with a great goal line save at the near post! What a save!
83'

Alcoyano cross in a FK which is promptly cleared. Danger is not over as Alcoyano have come to life!
82'

It was always a possibility in a game Real Madrid should have put to bed in the first half. A great defence from Alcoyano has kept them in the game and it only takes one set-piece to change things...

80'

Alcoyano equalise!!!! The corner is deflected onto the back post to be tapped in by the striker!

Alcoyano equalise!!!! The corner is deflected onto the back post to be tapped in by the striker!

78'

José Juan comes out of his area and saves the day for Alcoyano, beating Vinicius to a loose through ball.
76'

Valverde slides in perfectly in a challenge that stops the Alcoyano attack down the wing. Great tackle.
71'

Marcelo chips up the ball in the area and attempts the overhead kick. Theatrical and impressive but it ultimately goes wide after a deflection.
68'

Alcoyano win a FK on the edge of their own box. The keeper steps up to try deliver a long ball.

65'

Alcoyano are holding on to hope as Mariano is subbed off for Benzema.

61'

Alcoyano have to be commended for their defensive play so far. Real Madrid have looked worse than they should due in part to their impressive performance.
60'

Real Madrid look much more free in the second half and are posing much more of a threat to Alcoyano's defence. As it should have been from the start.
54'

José Juan pushes Vazquez shot just wide. It came from outside the area but was driven and it required a sprawling stop. Good save.
52'

Marcelo puts too much on the through ball for Vinicius and it goes out for a goal kick.
49'

Much more positive football from Real Madrid who chain a few passes together in the area but just can't manage a clear shot.
48'

Vinicius fires a long ball down the wing but his target is offside. Much more attacking intent already on show.
47'

Mariano flattens the Alcoyano defender. It looked to be a clear foul although not malicious.
46'

Real Madrid come out looking somewhat more energised. A positive sign after the sleepy first half.
45'

HT: Real Madrid have clearly been the superior side but their inability to create danger in the first half is really a travesty. Anything other than a win here tonight would be a disaster for the Whites.

44'

REAL MADRID FINALLY! Marcelo picks out Miliato in the box with a cross who heads home from the six-yard box. They haven't had many chances but they are ahead now. Heartbreaking for Alcoyano as Zidane fist pumps the air.

40'

To be a fly on the wall of the dressing room at half time. Zidane does not look impressed with his team's performance so far.
35'

Vazquez turns and has his shot blocked by the defender. Still not a clear chance on goal for Madrid.
34'

Ludicrous that 33 minutes in the only real chance has been from Alcoyano.
33'

Alcoyano almost score at the other end with a short cross headed just over!
32'

Isco fire the ball into the box but the keeper collects it easily.
31'

Vazquez brought down and wins a solid chance for Real Madrid to score from a set piece.
27'

Real Madrid continue to control the play but are dearly struggling to create any danger whatsoever.
23'

Isco displaying the skill gap on show tonight as he dances around three defenders all clipping at his heels. Individual quality might not be enough to carry they day if things carry on like this.
21'

Odriozola stars tonight and has distributed a fair few balls tonight so far. Overall Real Madrid feel directionless. They have leadership figures on the pitch but it's awfully quiet out there at the moment.
17'

Real Madrid just have to play with more passion against a Segunda B side. They are making Alcoyano look like title contenders in La Liga.
14'

Real Madrid are playing with a complete lack of conviction so far. Alcoyano are picking up more of the ball as the clock rolls on and we all know how cup matches can go... Surely not though? Right?
10'

The Frenchman was keen to stress that 'there are no easy games' but let's be honest, they shouldn't struggle here tonight. Now Real Madrid just have to do something with all this possession they are having.
9'

Zidane using this occasion to let a few of his less-used players stretch their legs. That being said you can hardly call it a B team with the likes of Isco and Marcelo on the pitch.
6'

All as expected so far. Real Madrid must be close to 100 percent possession so far. They look comfortable just passing around it around the back 4 and wait for any openings to present themselves.
3'

Isco brought down on the edge of the area after trying to skip around the defence.

1'

And we are off! Let's see what we are in for tonight...

Start of match

PRVW

Benzema joins Courtois tonight on the bench which should tell you all you need to know about how highly Zidane thinks of his opponents tonight.
