The players of Real Madrid justified their role as favorites in the match against Almeria and celebrated with a score of 4:2 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the 32nd round of the Spanish La Liga, and Karim Benzema scored three goals in this match.
The player of the match is certainly Karim Benzema, who scored a hat-trick in this game with goals in the 7th minute, assisted by Vinicius, and in the 17th, when the other Brazilian striker Rodrigo was an assistant, to complete the hat-trick with a goal in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot.
Lazaro managed to reduce the score to 3:1 in the 46th minute, so we went to the break with that score.
Real scored the fourth goal through Rodrigo in the 47th minute, and Almeria scored the final goal through Robertone in the 61st minute.
Real are now firmly in second position, eight points behind leaders Barcelona, while Benzema, with 17 goals, is currently second on the scorers’ list, one goal behind Barcelona forward Roberto Lewandowski.
A worrying change for Carlo Ancelotti happened in the 82nd minute when Carvajal came on for Vinicius, who was complaining of an injury.
