Benzema opened the scoring when he converted Vinicius Jr's pass, which turned out to be Madrid's 1000th goal in the competition.
Meanwhile Fernando's powerful volley then drew Shakhtar level, but Benzema, like has done so many times in the last 18 months, bailed Madrid out of trouble.
A fine team move carved open the visitors, and Benzema was on hand to beat Trubin for the second time.
Madrid are far from the finished article, and Ancelotti will hope his team can secure qualification quickly before he can then try to strengthen his squad in January.
Following the win, Real Madrid will focus on the league, where they face Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
