Real Madrid v Elche live updates - latest La Liga score

Elche argue that there is a foul in the build-up, but VAR says otherwise. Benzema stepping up...

Vinicius goes down in the box after being fouled by Palacios, and the ref points to the spot. It's being checked.

Some great passes from Madrid. A dummy from Hazard completely fools the Elche defence, giving Casemiro a free shot, but it is saved once again.

WOW! Great control from Benzema who has Gonzalez right behind him. He takes the shot, but it's straight at Badia.

Mendy makes a great run, passing the ball to Benzema, who attempts a flick into the net, but it doesn't fall to a team mate.

Morente clearly cannot continue on, and so he's being replaced by Fidel. That's now nine players out for Elche.

Morente is getting treatment after a push on Casemiro. Looks like he rolled his ankle.

Hazard's quick feet gets him away from a few defenders, but he's unable to get the shot off.

Real Madrid now on the counter, but another cross, this time from Hazard, is again cleared. Both sides just not getting that final pass right.

Boye puts in a fantastic cross for Morente but Mendy gets to it before Elche get an attempt on goal.

Hazard finds Kroos for a long range shot, but it goes wide.

Modric gets two chances to try to find a teammate whilst in the box. He really should have gone for goal here.

Vini Jr. shoots from really close range, but great goal-keepeing from Badia keeps the ball out.

Vazquez crosses it into the box, but it is an easy clearance for Gonzalez.

Casemiro finds Vinicius Jr, but the pass is a bit too heavy, and the ball goes out.

As the commentators say, Elche really have nothing to lose today. They're sitting in a 4-4-2 block, and attempting to catch their opponents on the counter attack.

Boye attempts a shot from outside the box, but he scuffs it, and it's off target.

All Madrid in the opening minutes, as Eden Hazard attempts a 1-2 against Elche's low block.

After a beautiful tribute, Elche start us off here in Madrid.

Chants of 'Gento' from the Real Madrid fans, followed by a moment of silence and a symphony of violins.

Just five minutes to go until kick-off at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium here in Madrid!
