Karim Benzema scored the final goal of Real Madrid's victory over Levante in the final minute of the match. The Frenchman, after a sprint that left him almost alone against Aitor Fernandez, dodged Campaña and beat the goalie with the inside of his right foot.

Be careful: 'Monsieur' Benzema strikes again. The Frenchman scored once again, this time in the match between Levante and Real Madrid. His goal was in the last minute of the match, when De Frutos botched a cross and facilitated the lightning-fast counter from Madrid.

He received a deep pass and ran. There was virtually no defence, so it was relatively easy for him to break into the opposition's area. Campaña, recently called up to the Spanish National Team, managed to get back but Benzema cut inside and created enough space to score.

1 on 1 with Fernandez, Benzema was incredibly precise. He finessed the ball with the inside of the right foot and the goalkeeper couldn't do a thing to stop the shot.

His goal certainly did justice to the fact that Real Madrid had ample opportunity to extend their lead. Madrid lacked a killer instinct and were relieved by Benzema's goal. The other scorer was Vinicius, which leaves one clear conclusion: the attack worked.
