JAKARTA - Real Madrid won the European Super Cup after a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, Thursday, August 11, early morning local time. David Alaba and Karim Benzema scored two Real Madrid goals.

This is Real Madrid's fifth European Super Cup title. The Spanish La Liga club equaled the achievements of Barcelona and AC Milan.

Meanwhile, for the coach Carlo Ancelotti, this is his fourth title in the European Super Cup. Now he is the most successful coach in this event.

Ancelotti surpassed the record of Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who has won the event three times, according to Opta.

In the match which took place at the Olympiastadion, Real Madrid took the lead in the 37th minute through Alaba's goal. This was his fourth goal in 47 games for Los Blancos in all competitions.

In the 65th minute, it was Benzema's turn to list his name on the scoreboard. This goal made him Madrid's second top scorer in all competitions with 324 goals.

He only lost to Cristiano Ronaldo who contributed 450 goals throughout the Los Blancos uniform.

Apart from Alaba and Benzema, praise should also be given to Thibaut Courtois who recorded a number of important saves. According to Opta's records, the Belgian goalkeeper has saved 19 shots on goal he faced from opposing players.

All of those saves he made in the four finals he played with Real Madrid, both in domestic and European competitions.
