The Real Madrid border Levant Karim Benzema nets
On Saturday, Karim Benzema won two times with Real Madrid in an exceptional lead against Levante, but on the day Eden Hazard rendered its League premiere, his team was hung up for a 3-2 victory.
In the first half on a wet afternoon on the Santiago Bernabeu, the French striker scored just six minutes apart before Casemiro put Real up 3-0.
However, Levante, the winner of his last two outings, fought home with Borja Mayoral and Gonzalo Melero in the second quarter.
Although the way their win would have worked out was not so compelling as Coach Zinedine Zidane might have liked, after two matches, it was a pleasant back to winner Real.
In the final half hour, Hazard also came out to make his first appearance in the league, following a thigh injury that interrupted a real career after his move from Chelsea of EUR 100 million ($110 million).
When the Belgians begin their match in Champions League on Wednesday, they could go to Paris Saint-Germain.
After the suspension holds it here, Gareth Bale will also be accessible for this game, but Sergio Ramos will not be able to compete against PSG due to a European prohibition.
Zidane had been here without Luka Modric wounded as well.
Had there not been a certain inspired goalkeeper from Aitor Fernandez, who produced an impressive onehanded stop in order to keep the Benzema shot from the edge of the area in the first half, Reality could have gained more margin here.
Shortly afterwards, though, the guests took the lead when Dani Carvajal kept a stick to bullet back from the brink of the six-yard region to Benzema.
The Frenchman hit James Rodriguez again at the 31st minute, whilst Sergio Postigo pushed the shot down his way, teeing Benzema to record his fourth.
