Karim Benzema's Brace Leads Real Madrid to 2-1 Win over Eibar in La Liga

Real Madrid came from behind to beat Eibar 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday.

Los Blancos did not manage a single shot on target in the first half; the closest they came to scoring was Karim Benzema's disallowed strike in the ninth minute.

Marc Cardona fired the visitors in front in the 39th minute when he finished off a neat move as Marc Cucurella and Gonzalo Escalante carved open Real's defence.

Benzema thought he had equalised after the break when he slotted home after Marko Dmitrovic failed to clear his lines in a one-on-one, but a tight offside call went against the Frenchman following a VAR review.
