Karim Benzema made it 0-3 in the 40th minute to round off a great first half. In other words, it took him ten minutes to score the opener, assist Odriozola for the second goal and then score his second.

Karim Benzema had put Madrid in front on 30 minutes after converting a penalty won by Vinicius. And just three minutes later, he put it on a plate for Odriozola to make it 2-0 with a precise assist. But he wasn't done there.

In the 40th minute, the Frenchman topped off this great period with a second strike that completed his golden ten minutes on the field. The 0-3 scoreline killed off a Cadiz side who protested an offside in the build-up.

Fali cut out a cross into the box, but the Cadiz defender couldn't grab the ball, which Rodrygo took advantage of to regain possession. The Brazilian was in an offside position, but it was an opponent player that had played the ball.

The Brazilian found his countryman Casemiro, who hung the ball up into the six yard box where Benzema was waiting, just onside, to turn it home with a header that made it 0-3.
