Espanyol vs Real Madrid 2022: Real Madrid snatched all three points in the dying minutes of the game. Two late goals from Karim Benzema help Los Blancos beat 10-men Espanyol 3-1.
Two minutes before the end of regulation, Karim Benzema scored on the rebound of Rodrygo’s cross to give Espanyol the lead.
