RIYADH: Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Sunday as Luka Modric and a Karim Benzema penalty secured a comfortable victory in Saudi Arabia.
They had brief hope in the 87th minute when they were awarded a penalty and Eder Militao was sent off, but Raul Garcia missed and Madrid's win was safe. Ancelotti now has five trophies as Real Madrid coach, adding a Spanish Super Cup to the Copa del Rey, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup he won during his first spell.
Criticism has been more forthright from human rights groups like Amnesty International, who have accused the federation of failing to support"harassed and persecuted women in Saudi Arabia" and of collaborating in Saudi"image-washing". The first warning came when Kroos pinged the ball out to the Brazilian, who dropped it inside for Benzema and the striker's curling shot flew just wide of Unai Simon's far post.
