Real Madrid down Eintracht Frankfurt to win UEFA Super Cup

Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 to win the 2022 UEFA Super Cup at Helsinki's Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night as Karim Benzema moved past Raul into second on the Spanish club's all-time scoring list behind leader Cristiano Ronaldo.

The sides traded good chances in the early stages of the annual match between the winner of the Champions and Europa Leagues, with Thibaut Courtois doing well to snuff out Daichi Kamada's chance for Frankfurt on the break and Vinicius Junior's goal-bound shot for Madrid swept off the line by Almamy Toure.
