Result: Levante 1-0 Real Madrid

Real Madrid have suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Levante after being reduced to ten men.

Both sides had chances to make the breakthrough in the first half, but Real striker Karim Benzema had the best opportunity when his shot was blocked on the line.

Madrid ended the half a man down after Sami Khedira was sent off for pushing an opponent after a number of players from both teams clashed on the touchline.

Despite an open second half, the hosts went ahead when Arouna Kone poked home from close range on 67 minutes.

The visitors failed to create any decent openings in search of an equaliser, and Levante frustrated Jose Mourinho's side to earn the three points.
