Valencia gets defeated in a shootout thanks to heroics from Real Madrid’s Benzema and Courtois in the Super Cup semi-final.
The Whites managed to take the lead when Karim Benzema won and converted a penalty after a rather slow start to the game. However, Valencia managed to equalize 22 seconds into the second half when Samuel Lino volleyed a shot at the far post. It was enough to force extra time and penalties.
José Gaya and Eray Comert missed their penalty attempts, with Thibaut Courtois saving the winner. All Madridistas, including Benzema, have scored goals. To be honest, there weren’t many great performances in this game, but Karim Benzema still delivered when it counted. He won a first-half penalty and netted it before keeping his cool to score from 12 meters.
