  • 93'
    FT: Real Madrid 3-0 Ath. Bilbao!! It's all over at the Bernabeu! After a dull first half, Real Madrid were the much better team in the second half and deserved to win. Benzema got a hat-trick, the second and third of them included a helping hand from Herrerin and the Frenchman continues his great season. Vallejo and Asensio also played very well. Bilbao had two great chances, but were unable to score. Thanks for joining us and see you soon!
  • 93'
    Benzema is caught offside in the last play of the game and it's all over!
  • 92'
    Two added minutes were shown
  • 91'
    There was no need for him to come out. There were two or three defenders there. He thought he was a penalty box keeper instead of a goalkeeper!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 90 '
    It's 3-0!!! What was Herrerin doing? Long pass by Isco for Bale, Herrerin gets there first, but instead of booting it clear, he tries a cute and tame header, it hits Yuri and the bale breaks straight to Benzema. The Frenchman hits it in from 30 yards into an open goal
  • 89 '
    What a miss by Bale! He is one on one with Herrerin and he chips it over Herrerin, but over the goal as well
  • 87 '
    Navas!!!! What a save to deny Williams from point blank range! Muniain finds Unai Lopez down this flank and the cross is superb for Williams to head at the far post. It should have been a great goal, but Navas had other ideas.
  • 85 '
    Modric gives it to Brahim on the near side, he turns past Lekue before he attempts to beat Herrerin at the near post. The Basque goalie gets down to save!
  • 85'
    Long punt sent forward for Brahim Diaz and Isco is unable to control the pass

    Navas is booked for timewasting
  • 81 '
    What a chance for Aduriz! Unai Lopez puts in a fantastic ball in for Aduriz on the edge of the six yard box and the number 20 heads over
  • 80'
    What an intervention by Vallejo! Aduriz plays in Williams who dribbles and as he is about to pull the trigger, Vallejo slides in.
  • 77'
    Now you know why they always say never make a sub just before you defend the corner. You get distracted by the change and the new man may not know who to mark. In this case, it was the goalie who lost concentration

en el 76' (Real Madrid)
  • 76 '
    Benzema makes it 2-0 from the corner! Bilbao wanted offside when Bale was played in, he wasn't and from the corner they did everything wrong. They make a sub just before defending a corner and then Herrerin comes running out and gets nowhere near the ball. Benzema heads into an empty net at the far post. A terrible blunder by Herrerin and the coach

  • 45'
    HT: Real Madrid 0-0 Ath. Bilbao!! Half-time at the Bernabeu!! It has been very stop-start and there have been very few goalmouth opportunities.

See you in a bit!
