Karim Benzema scored a dramatic equaliser at dying moment for Real Madrid to clinch a 1-1 draw against Valencia.
Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois came up for a corner in stoppage time and had a header into the goal and was saved by Jaume Domenech. But he could not handle when Benzema lashed home the rebound.
Valencia had led at 77″ of the match, when Carlos Soler was unmarked to blast home Daniel Wass’ clever cutback.
