Video: Karim Benzema shows ice-cold composure to score for Real Madrid after wonderful work from Lucas Vazquez

On the brink of halftime in today’s La Liga clash against SD Huesca, Karim Benzema dealt a deadly blow to the relegation candidates by extending Real Madrid’s lead to 2-0.

Lucas Vazquez, who is showing some real promise as a makeshift right-back, carried the ball down the flank and floated a dangerous cross to the far post.

Benzema showed his world-class quality by controlling the ball with his chest before drilling the ball into the back of the net.
