Real Madrid Vs. Eintracht Frankfurt: Benzema Scores, Los Blancos Win Another UEFA Super Cup

A 2-0 win for Real Madrid in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup provided proof of their midseason form as they defeated mercurial German side Eintracht Frankfurt in prime midseason form, with goals from David Alaba and Karim Benzema.

The victory is Madrid’s fifth in the history of the UEFA Super Cup, which pits last year’s Champions League title-winner against last year’s Europa League champion.

As a result of this victory, Los Blancos are level with Barcelona and AC Milan at the top of the winners’ table of the competition.

This is Carlo Ancelotti’s sixth Super Cup win across the span of his illustrious career, with four of them coming as a manager and two as a player.

The Spanish giants looked like they were ready for the coming season, dealing with Frankfurt’s hard press and creating chances up front while inhibiting the danger at the back.

With an easy tap-in from a corner in the first half, David Alaba scored his first goal of the season, while Karim Benzema also opened his account for the season in the second half.

There were few opportunities for Frankfurt in the first half, with Daichi Kamada’s best chance coming on 14 minutes, but he was unable to convert.

After that, the team looked toothless overall as a result of the absence of playmaker Filip Kostic.

This was the game’s best player, as Casemiro marauded all over the field, putting a lid on Frankfurt’s attack as well as providing some threat up front as well.

Around the hour mark, the Brazilian headed the opening goal for Alaba and clattered the crossbar with his effort.

As part of the opening weekend of the La Liga season, Real Madrid will travel to newly promoted Almeria on Sunday to play their first game.
