It was the visitors who drew first blood in the Spanish capital when Santi Mina fired Vigo ahead after just four minutes.

But Benzema got Real back on level terms with his first of the night in the 24th minute.

Vigo then went in front again on the half-hour mark thanks to Franco Cervi.

And they went in at the half-time break 2-1 up.

There must have been some angry words from Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti in the changing room.

That's because Real came out of the tunnel with renewed purpose as Benzema immediately restored parity.
