Real Madrid comfortable in victory against Osasuna

Real Madrid have recorded a comfortable 2-0 win in the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie with Osasuna.

Goals from Karim Benzema and Jese Rodriguez were enough for Carlo Ancelotti's side, who were never unduly troubled by their opponents at Santiago Bernabeu.

Benzema opened the scoring on 18 minutes with a glancing header that wrong-footed goalkeeper Asier Riesgo following a good delivery from a Luka Modric free kick.

Los Blancos had chances in the second half with Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, before Jese extended the lead just before the hour mark with a tap-in.
