MADRID -- Karim Benzema scored a penalty in his last game for Real Madrid as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Athletic Club in LaLiga on Sunday.
With the focus on Benzema, it was Thibaut Courtois who starred in the first half, saving Mikel Vesga's 10th-minute penalty kick before tipping Yuri Berchiche's shot over the bar. The home side's best chance fell to Rodrygo Goes, denied as he tried to dribble around goalkeeper Unai Simon.
Oihan Sancet put Athletic ahead after the break -- after Courtois had kept out his initial effort -- and Benzema leveled from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute, before being substituted to a standing ovation.
