A bit going on here...
Penalty passed to benzema who scores.
Benzema encroached massively. Defensive players also in the box before the kick is taken but don't come near challenging for the ball.
Is retake the right restart in law? I've checked lotg and if both teams commit an offence then a retake is correct but does the minor encroachment by the defending players really mean retake? Seems incredibly harsh
