Real Madrid take a 1-0 lead into the half-time break of their Copa del Rey quarter-final second-leg tie against Espanyol at home.
It took the home side just seven minutes to open the scoring, as Jese Rodriguez latched onto a lofted through-ball from Xabi Alonso and kept his composure to slot a calm finish inside the near post.
Cristiano Ronaldo then stepped inside from the left flank and sent a powerful shot towards goal, but Kiko Casilla was equal to it, and the goalkeeper was out to thwart the Ballon d'Or winner again just five minutes later.
Casilla then reacted well to tip Angel di Maria's deflected strike wide as Madrid continued to pour forward in search of further goals.
On the stroke of half time, Pizzi flashed a volley over the bar in a rare chance for the visitors.
