REAL MADRID defeated a good LDU DE QUITO 4-2 in the second
game of their PEACE CUP commitment & managed to qualify
(just) for next Fridays semi-final at Sevilla against JUVENTUS.

The highlights are that the Real Madrid team has improved
somewhat but have the habitual problems of set plays in defence
were they allowed Quito to score twice. The good news was that
RONALDO scored his first goal, youngster GRANERO scored & played
well, BENZEMA looked good before leaving the ground with a
hard knock & PEPE was enormous in defence & the man of the
match. Added to this but not least important MARCELO played
well & NEGREDO got a run & scored.

This may sound like everything is perfect, BUT there is still plenty
of things that need to be fixed before we can confidently say that
Real Madrid are fine. It´s obviously early in the pre-season &
everyone is still getting to know each other but there are lapses &
midfield loss of the balls that are worrying. However, if this game
is an indicator it was much better than their match last Sunday.

LDU DE QUITO played well & nearly pulled off a victory but
Real keeper tonight DUDEK saved the few opportunities they
enjoyed, & LARREA deserves a mention as he had a good
match & scored twice for Quito.

Here are the VIDEOs of all the goals:
