Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt LIVE: Super Cup result, final score and reaction after Karim Benzema goal

77 mins: Carlo Ancelotti is closing in on his 24th trophy as a manager and to be fair Real Madrid haven’t looked like losing this one. At times it’s felt like a pre-season fixture but sparked into life by some moments of brilliance such as Benzema’s goal.

74 mins: Eduardo Camavinga is the latest Real Madrid substitute. He is growing into his role with Los Blancos and has a promising future ahead of him if he continues to develop.

Federico Valverde is the man taken off.

71 mins: Vinicius Junior has had an incredible game and his partnership with Karim Benzema seems to have only grown stronger over the summer.

They combine for a one-two but Benzema’s return ball is too heavy and Kevin Trapp scoops up the ball before Vinicius can get there.

68 mins: Rodrygo comes on to replace Luka Modric for Real Madrid with Lucas Alario replacing Almamy Toure for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Mario Götze and Randal Kolo Muani are also for the German club with Sebastian Rode and Jesper Lindstrøm the men replaced.

65 mins: Great finish from Karim Benzema! How many times have we said that?

Vinicius Junior is played down the left wing and chases the ball down as it bounces up along the side of the box. He darts into the area and slides the ball over to his captain.

Benzema lets it run across his body before smoking it into the back of the net! Real double their lead.

63 mins: Save! Better from Frankfurt who work the ball over to Knauff on the right side. He cuts into the box but both his options for a pass stray offside as Real Madrid’s back line steps up.

Instead he goes for goal with a toe-poke towards the bottom corner but Courtois dives across and clings onto the ball.

60 mins: Off the bar!

Toni Kroos finds Luka Modric who rolls the ball along the edge of the ‘D’ and sets Casemiro up for a left footed shot. The midfielder lets the ball run across him before lacing one at goal and hitting the top of the crossbar!

57 mins: Frankfurt haven’t been able to create much in this half so far and a shooting chance on the edge of the box sees Eder Militao make another decent block.

There’s movement on the German bench and reinforcements may change the tide of the game.

54 mins: Save! Luka Modric works the ball over to Ferland Mendy on the left wing who’s pushed high up the pitch. He chips the ball into the box anf picks out Vinicius Junior.

Vinicius brings it under control and shoots. The shot takes a big deflection and drops right at Kevin Trapp’s feet allowing the goalkeeper to block it with his body and keep the ball out of the net.

Decent save from Trapp.

51 mins: Fine work from Jesper Lindstrom who shifts away from a Mendy tackle in the middle of the pitch and drives into the open space to the right of the Real box. Borrie and Kamada are the targets in the box but Casemiro sprints back to slow the winger down.

Lindstrom manages to squeeze into the box and cuts the ball back but there’s a deflection and the ball rolls safely to Courtois in goal.
