Real Madrid won their first European title this season.
Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp made a big save for Karim Benzema’s 2-0 goal.
– The ball almost went through him, says expert commentator Olof Mehlberg at Sea More.
Real Madrid won non-progressive Super Cup title. Last year’s Champions League champions defeated the European League champions, Eintracht Frankfurtby 2–0 in Helsinki, Finland.
Two giant modes
Real Madrid returned to victory after a poor rhythm and start to the match as Frankfurt came close to achieving 1-0.
Daichi Kamada was sent off in the 14th minute, but he shot straight at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Commentator Adam Benthorpe says in C More he couldn’t have asked for a much better position.
Three minutes later, Real Madrid instead came close to taking the lead. Vinicius Junior defeated German goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. But central defender Tota put himself behind Trapp and prevented a late goal.
Painting by Kevin Trapp
The main goal for Real Madrid was to come.
This came after the Spaniards managed to kick a corner with the best of their ability. David Alaba headed away for 1-0 after Casemiro sent central defender with an open goal.
Karim Benzema strengthened the lead in the second half. The French achieved the final score 2-0 with a shot in the middle of the goal.
– It looks like a giant painting. Olof Mellberg says the ball almost went through him (dirt).
Benzema’s goal means he has now scored more goals (324) in a Real Madrid shirt than Raul (323). Only Cristiano Ronaldo scored more than 450 goals for the Spanish capital team.
