Vinicius Jr gave the champions the lead just before halftime with a long shot but the visitors equalized after the breakthrough Kike Garcia, who scored with a brilliant header from the edge of the area over the goalkeeper.

Benzema fired wide from the penalty spot in the 79th minute, after being fouled inside the area by defender Unai Garcia, who was shown a straight red card.

Real Madrid is level with rivals Barcelona on 19 points at the top of the points table, with Barca ahead on goal difference.

The point at Santiago Bernabeu lifted Osasuna to sixth in the points table on 13 points.
