Karim Benzema Brace Powers Real Madrid Past Levante
Karim Benzema netted a brace for Real Madrid as they edged out Levante 3-2 win at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday as Eden Hazard made his debut from the bench.
The Frenchman opened the scoring in the 25th minute and doubled his tally six minutes later to give the hosts control over the contest.
Casemiro made it even more comfortable with his strike five minutes before the break.
Madrid loanee Borja Mayoral pulled one back for the visitors in the 49th minute, though, while Gonzalo Melero scored with 15 minutes remaining to set up a tense finish.
