CLOSE! Casilla almost makes a terrible mistake rushing out as El Zhar gets to the ball first, but the winger can only blast his effort off the keeper. That will end the contest as the referee blows for full time.

The ball hit back off the keeper into the Argentine, who somehow kept it in play and nudged it towards the goal, before sliding with Nacho put it over the line.
84'
El Zhar makes a good run down the right and he sends a dangerous cross into the box, but it sails narrowly over the heads of his team-mates in the box.

38'

Livaja tries to capitalise on a mistake from Ramos, but Varane stops him in his tracks on the edge of the box to quell the attack.

33'
Marco Asensio has scored a goal for Real Madrid!

31'
Morata went down quite theatrically in the box and Garcia was unimpressed with his attempts, pleading with the referee to book the Spaniard. However, his appeals went unrewarded.

Momo sends the ball into the box, but Ramos gets up highest in the area to clear with authority.

22'
Varane brings down Livaja and the home side earn a chance to threaten from a free-kick 35 yards from goal.
20'

PENALTY SHOUTS! Morata sends a cross into the box and the ball strikes Artiles. Real want a penalty for handball, but the referee dismisses their claims. Ronaldo picks up the ball and gets jostled out of possession by Michel, but then falls to the ground. Once again the referee waves away his appeals.
10'
It has been utter dominance from Madrid thus far. Las Palmas cannot get a kick at the moment as Zidane's men are encamped in their half.
8'
CHANCE! Kroos lifts his cross into the box and Morata powers a header towards the net after beating his marker in the air, but Varas makes a fine save to turn the ball over the bar.
7'
Nacho goes down under Michel's challenge and Real have a free-kick on the byline on the left flank. Kroos will take the set-piece.
6'
CHANCE! Kroos robs Momo in the middle of the park and drives forward towards the edge of the box. The German shoots with his left foot, but Varas makes a comfortable save.
5'
Michel comes out of the defensive line to make a strong tackle on Ronaldo. He wins the ball and helps his side clear the danger. The Brazilian had to win that challenge otherwise his side would have been open on the flank.
3'
Ronaldo collects on the left and cuts back on to his right foot with the aid of a few stepovers. He opens up space for a strike, but scuffs his effort well past the post.

We're underway in this LaLiga clash.
The home side put Real under pressure at the back, forcing Ramos into an early mistake as he sends the ball out for a throw-in.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Las Palmas and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid dropped down to second in LaLiga following Barcelona's 5-0 hammering of Sporting Gijon earlier today. Zinedine Zidane's men are only out of top place on goal difference, but will want to respond with a win after only drawing in midweek against Villarreal.
Zidane's side were trailing to Villarreal thanks to Bruno's 45th-minute goal, but rallied in the second half as Sergio Ramos equalised. However, they were unable to push on for a winner. The Frenchman will be looking for more from his team tonight.
Las Palmas' fast start has been halted in recent weeks to Sevilla and Real Socieded. The club lost 4-1 in the week at the Estadio Municipal de Anoeta, but remain in sixth place in the table. However, they will need a much stronger performance this evening.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Las Palmas subs: Lizoain, Lemos, Montoro, El Zhar, Araujo, Tyronne, Lopes.
Las Palmas (4-2-3-1): Varas; Michel, Garcia, Aythami, Castellano; Vicente, Roque; Tana, Viera, Momo; Livaja.
Real Madrid subs: Navas, Benzema, James, Kovacic, Vazquez, Isco, Danilo.
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Casilla; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho; Modric, Kroos, Asensio; Bale, Morata, Ronaldo.
Zidane has made five changes to his side that drew in midweek. Daniel Carvajal, Nacho, Luka Modric, Marco Asensio and Alvaro Morata return to the fold. Marcelo misses out with a calf injury, while Mateo Kovacic and James Rodriguez are dropped to the bench.
There are seven changes for Las Palmas in the aftermath of their defeat to Real Sociedad. David Garcia, Michel, Aythami Artiles, Vicente Gomez, Momo, Jonathan Viera and Marko Livaja all get starts tonight.
The players are out on the pitch, so we will be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: LAS PALMAS 1-1 REAL MADRID
The players are back out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
Las Palmas hit back just before the break to level the scores and it's a deserved scoreline at the break. Real Madrid have not been clinical in the final third and were duly punished when Tana found the net. Zidane will want an improvement in the final third in the second half.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
FULL-TIME: LAS PALMAS 2-2 REAL MADRID
An entertaining contest end all square as Real Madrid return to the LaLiga summit, but will feel that they have dropped two points this evening. Marco Asensio put his side ahead in the first half, only to be pegged back by Tana's strike. Karim Benzema appeared to have secured the win for his team, but Sergio Araujo with the aid of fortune snatched a draw for Las Palmas.
