Real Madrid were denied an eighth consecutive victory in the La Liga after being held to a goalless draw by relegation strugglers Cadiz at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Brazilian forward VINICIUS JUNIOR failed to impress on his 100th league appearance for Real and KARIM BENZEMA was another to disappoint in the uneventful outing for the Los Blancos.
The hosts dominated proceedings, registering 36 efforts on goal to the visitors' four but failed to widen the gap at the summit.
Despite several promising created chances, Carlo Ancelotti's squad ended up having a frustrating night, while Alvaro Negredo squandered a late chance to give the visitors a much-needed win that would have moved them out of the relegation zone.
The result leaves Real six points clear at the top of the table having played a game more than second-placed Sevilla.
