REAL #MADRID 5 – 3 #FENERBAHCE [AUDI CUP] HIGHLIGHTS 2019

Real Madrid secured a much-needed victory ahead of the La Liga season as they beat Fenerbahce SK 5-3 at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, courtesy of a Karim Benzema hat-trick and strikes from Nacho and Mariano Diaz.

Zinedine Zidane’s side’s miserable pre-season campaign continued early on, as Garry Rodrigues cut in from the left to fire beyond Keylor Navas with an effort the Costa Rican should have kept out after just six minutes.

A point blank Navas save prevented an almost immediate second, however, a defensive mix-up by the Turkish side allowed ​Benzema to level matters from close range with 12 minutes on the clock.

​Los Blancos extended their lead 15 minutes later as Benzema headed home with ease from Toni Kroos’ right wing cross to seemingly ease the pressure on Zidane. It was short lived though, as Nabil Dirar’s deflected strike looped over Navas with ten minutes left of the half.

Some further poor defending, as was symbolic of both sides, handed Benzema his and Real’s third shortly after half time, as the 31-year-old was left unmarked to head into an empty net from Lucas Vazquez’ cross. A barmy game at ​Bayern Munich’s home showed no signs of letting up, as Ozan Tufan sent a flying effort from 25 yards beyond the despairing dive of Andiry Lunin into the top corner.
