The Palace goalkeeper, making his debut appearance for the club, enjoyed a night to remember, keeping out spot-kicks from Tristan Crama and Aidomo Emakhu – while four of his teammates converted from 12 yards – to seal our progress to the next round.
Benítez was otherwise rarely called upon in a match of few chances, although he did make a pair of decent first-half saves from Zak Sturge and Mihailo Ivanovic.
But the Argentina international's heroics in front of the Whitehorse Lane end were enough to earn him some 36.8% of your votes and claim your Player of the Match award.
Fellow debutant Jaydee Canvot also impressed in defence, earning 19.5% of your votes, while Will Hughes ranked third in the poll with 15.4%.
