MADRID — Two goals by Karim Benzema and one each from Kaka and Jose Rodriguez gave Real Madrid a 4-1 away win over third-tier club Alcoyano in the first round of the Copa del Rey Wednesday. Benzema headed in after Alcoyano defenders Javier Selvas and Arkaitz Perez failed to clear Alvaro Morata's cross in the 21st minute. Alcoyano made a fast-passing start and had pounced on three of Madrid goalkeeper Antonio Adan's short clearances, causing Madrid to have to chase the ball hard in midfield. “They played as I had expected — with joy, with intensity, with motivation and with self-belief because up until we started to score against them they even looked better than us,” Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said. Kaka controlled Benzema's assist outside the penalty area, took a step forward and hit a left-footed shot low into goal in the 35th. The 17-year-old Rodriguez made a dream first team debut with Madrid when he scored in the 67th, before Javier Lara pulled one back for Alcoyano from a free kick in the 77th. Benzema scored his second from an assist by Kaka in the 87th. Mourinho rested Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Xabi Alonso, Pepe, Sergio Ramos and captain Iker Casillas. In earlier games, Malaga beat Cacereno 4-3, Atletico Madrid trounced Real Jaen 3-0, Almeria won 2-0 against Celta Vigo, Zaragoza beat Granada 1-0 and Las Palmas downed Rayo Vallecano 1-0. Athletic Bilbao was fortunate to escape with a 0-0 draw from its visit to third-division Eibar on Thursday. Bayern beats Kaiserslautern Claudio Pizarro scored twice and set up two more goals Wednesday for Bayern Munich to beat second-division club Kaiserslautern 4-0 and progress to third round of the German Cup. The Peru striker scored in the 12th minute, striking first time after Arjen Robben played the ball into his path. The 34-year-old Pizarro returned the favor for Robben to make it 2-0 in the 49th, and he scored his second when he rose to meet Xherdan Shaqiri's free kick nine minutes later. Robben scored Bayern's fourth with two minutes remaining after Pizarro ran at the defense and the ball found its way to the well-placed Dutchman for a simple finish. Earlier, Bayer Leverkusen needed a goal in extra time from Germany forward Andre Schuerrle to overcome third-division club Arminia Bielefeld 3-2. Juve edges Bologna Defending champion Juventus scored a stoppage-time winner to beat Bologna 2-1 Wednesday and extend its unbeaten Serie A run to 49 games. Paul Pogba headed in the winner to cap an excellent game from the young midfielder, who showed exactly why Manchester United was so desperate to keep him before his move to Italy in the offseason. Fabio Quagliarella put Juventus in front in the 54th minute, but Bologna midfielder Saphir Taider leveled in the 71st. Juventus is four points ahead of Inter Milan after Andrea Stramaccioni's side recorded its sixth succesive victory, beating 10-man Sampdoria 3-2. It sets up a mouthwatering clash between the two bitter rivals this weekend. Napoli has now fallen below Inter after losing 1-0 at Atalanta. — Agencies
