Karim Benzema, Real Madrid Salvage 1-1 Draw vs. Leganes in La Liga

Karim Benzema rescued a point for Real Madrid against Leganes in a 1-1 draw in La Liga on Monday night at Butarque.

Los Blancos enjoyed plenty of possession in the first half but struggled to create clear chances. Marco Asensio's low shot that was saved by goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar after eight minutes was their best effort.

Leganes took the lead right before half-time through Silva. The ball came to Martin Braithwaite after a long throw, and he teed up the left-back to side-foot a low shot past Keylor Navas.

Real Madrid were quick to get back on level terms after the break.
