4-2:Win Number three for the Whites!



Real Madrid has achieved its third victory in the Asian tour. All goals were scored during the first half, when the Whites played their best football. Due to the many changes in Real Madrid, the players did not keep a good rhythm during the second half. Ronaldo, twice, Figo y Raul, scored for Real Madrid.



Ronaldo, Ronaldo!!
Sometimes, it seemed he is not even in the field, but once he appears, he becomes essential for the team. Before Ronaldo scored his second goal in this pre-season, and also the second goal for Real Madrid in this match, Figo had capitalised on a penalty to Roberto Carlos (6´). Ronaldo finished a spectacular move between Ra?l and Zidane, after having wrongfooting the defender three times (12´). Real Madrid's superiority made decrease the pace of the game and gave Hong Kong squad more spaces to move.

Raul scored for the first time:
David Beckham laid on an assistance to Ronaldo. The Brazilian player shot a beautiful volley and put the ball into the net overcoming An (33´) for the first time. One minute after, we could see again the same move we enjoyed in the Champion's League final in Glasgow. Roberto Carlos threw in a ball to Raul, and he planted a shot past the goalkeeper, the first one he scored this year (34'). The difference in the score had a bad effect on Real Madrid that conceded the second goal after the Hong Kong Squad surged forward down the wing.
