Half-Time Report: Gareth Bale header gives Real Madrid lead at Eibar

Real Madrid are leading Eibar 1-0 at half time in Sunday's La Liga clash at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium, thanks to a Gareth Bale header.

The first attempt of the game came courtesy of Sergio Enrich, who received a precise pass in the 13th minute and let rip from long range, but Keylor Navas managed to hold on to the ball.

Two minutes later it was Real's turn to threaten as James Rodriguez played an incisive pass into the path of Cristiano Ronaldo, who advanced into a one-on-one situation with Asier Riesgo and forced a save out of the Eibar goalkeeper.

Both sides were even in the latter stages of the first half, but just two minutes before the break the visitors went ahead when Bale jumped highest to connect with a cross from Luka Modric and planted his close-range header into the left side of the goal.
