Real Madrid Defeat Fenerbahce 5-3, Finish in 3rd Place at 2019 Audi Cup

Karim Benzema lifted Real Madrid to their first normal-time win of pre-season on Wednesday, scoring a hat-trick as they defeated Fenerbahce 5-3 to finish third at the 2019 Audi Cup.

Garry Rodrigues, Nabil Dirar and Ozan Tufan found goals to make things tricky for Los Blancos, but Benzema was well-placed to almost single-handedly turn the result in their favour.

He netted twice before the break and once in the second period to increase his pre-season goal tally to four.

Nacho Fernandez and substitute Mariano Diaz each scored to compound another disappointing defeat for Fenerbahce, who have now conceded 11 goals in their last two games.
