What a goal! The real Karim Benzema is beginning to stand up. A raking pass from Esteban Granero finds Karim Benzema way out wide on the left. Benzema then dribbled confidently into the area before a quick shimmy created space for the striker to fire an deadly accurate shot past Calatayud and in off the post. Benzema 2 – Adebayor 0 in the battle of the strikers.
Real Madrid Vs Hercules: Karim Benzema Scores Stunning Second
Before the second goal it had been a one man show for Hercules as keeper Calatayud was keeping his side in it on his own, saving from Angel Di Maria and twice from Benzema. Both Di Maria and Ozil are vital to this Madrid team in the absence of Cristiano and the two youngsters are not dissapointing, moving the ball around confidently and kicking their team in gear when in possession.
Can Hercules really score two goals away from home without their two star strikers in David Trezeguet and Nelson Valdes? The answer is no. Game over here at the Bernabeu.
