So he can’t score important goals in important matches? Shows what I know! Just when the Bernabeu was beginning to show signs of discontent, Karim Benzema conjured up a beautiful goal to put Real Madrid ahead. In a rare flash of true quality, the striker received the ball on the edge of the area before working a yard of space and firing a shot past Auoate.
Real Madrid Vs Mallorca: Benzema Breaks The Deadlock
After all the criticism he receives, you can’t help but be happy for the striker, but he really need to show this sort of quality on a more consistent basis if he is to continue at Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho had seen enough by half time, and switched Kaka and Gago for Mesut Ozil and Xabi Alonso, but up until the goal you can’t say the changes had has too much effect on the match as Mallorca, in particularly Webo and Nsue, were continuing to cause Madrid problems.
But the goal will surely serve to calm the Madrid nerves, with Mallorca now obliged to push forward a little more in search of an equaliser. That should give Cristiano a little more breathing space and we all know what he can do with a little extra space! Looks like Madrid will fight their way to another vital win in their pursuit of Barcelona.
