Real Madrid took the lead in the sixth minute of the away game against Eibar.
Karim Benzema received a buttery pass from Rodrygo that he picked up before gracefully passing the ball over to Marko Dmitrović in goal. In the 13th minute, Luka Modric entered from the right, feinted and sped over the lopsided defender to put the score 1-0, giving Real Madrid the lead.
But Karim Benzema also had time for a big foul when he came completely free in front of goal and only directed Luka Modric’s perfect post from close up with his forehead.
– Here … not a 3-0 goal, says commentator Adam Pinthorp on C More.
– You can probably think that that ball should have been placed within the goal frame.
Real Madrid beat Eibar
Instead of 3-0, Eibar cut back before the end of the second half when team captain Enrique García Martínez scored a dream goal. He turned the ball over and hit a left cross from Thibaut Courtois.
In the IC More studio, Karim Benzema was praised for his goal and criticized for failing.
– I was already thinking about how I would celebrate. If he pointed to God or if he kissed his shoe. That was his thing, otherwise he would have put it as easily as possible, says expert Astrit Ajdarevic.
In the second half, Real Madrid had another couple of failed chances, but the team still got all three points. In the last minute of extra time, Lucas Vázquez went free and made it 3-1.
The fact is that Real Madrid is now second in La Liga behind Atlético de la ciudad. Eibar is in 14th position.
