In the second round of La Liga, Real Madrid 4-1 victory over Girona. Benzema scored twice in this game, and another goal was canceled due to offside , almost hat-trick.
Benzema was more active, the opening goal took only nine minute, Bale direct pass after the steal, Benzema scored the ball after taking the ball on the left side of the penalty area, but when he is ready to celebrate the goal, the referee blows Benzema has been offside before scoring, so the goal was invalid. Benzema missed the opportunity to help Real Madrid get ahead early.
However, in the second half, Benzema seized the opportunity to score. In the 51st minute, Asencio was kicked in the penalty area. Real Madrid won the second penalty in this game. This time, Benzema stood out and took the penalty. And the ball hit the right side of the goal, Real Madrid took the lead 2-1. In the 80th minute, Bale passed on the right, and Benzema stopped the ball in the middle of the penalty area and scored. Real Madrid 4-1 sealed the victory.
Benzema’s second goal is also suspected to be offside. The referee once received a video referee’s reminder. At that time, the fans also assumed that the goal was invalid for the second time in this game. However, after slow-motion playback, although Benzema’s position is higher than that of Girona players, Bale is in the moment of passing the ball, and his foot is stretched before Benzema. Therefore, according to the rules, Benzema is not offside. The ball was finally judged to be valid.
Benzema scored for Real Madrid in the previous European Super Cup, and the same assists were Bell. The game scored twice, Assencio created a penalty for him, and Bell assisted him with the second goal. It can be said that Real Madrid’s BBA front line combination played more and more tacit understanding, and after C Ronaldo left the team, Benzema also got more fire rights on the court, I believe this will help him improve his goals.
