Right before the break, Carvajal came close to increasing the lead as he latched onto a loose header inside the box and fired a superb volley that came crashing back off the woodwork.
In the second half, Real exerted a higher pressure seeking to score a second goal. Kovacic send a low effort wide of the post and Benzema’s shot deflected off a defender and went out.
Malmoe were down to ten men as Yotun was shown a second yellow card for bringing down Lucas Vazquez and was sent off by the referee.
