Real Madrid sink Machester City : Match report

   Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov  gave the visitors the lead in the 69th and 85th minutes,before goals from Marcelo and Karim Benzema equalized in the 76th and 87th minute. And Ronaldo find his final laugh at the 89'30"minute leading Real Madrid to its first win.

    It was a difficult game for both the teams. Real Madrid started attacking since the first whistle with Marcelo, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Essein and Sami Khadera looking for a slip in before the D-box. But the Manchester City defending line was too strong to break in .But there were many times where Real madrid almost score. But thanks to Hart and his reflexes. It was 0-0 at the first half end.

   Toure, who had looked City's biggest threat all night long, broke out of the midfield again to create a two-on-one attack and this time successfully found his target with a simple through ball. Dzeko took the pass in his stride and beat Casillas with a composed, low left-footed finish.

Ozil had already been thrown into the fray and Modric and Benzema were quickly introduced as Mourinho sought to salvage something from the match, but Toure almost doubled the lead when released by Carlos Tevez, shooting narrowly wide.

The Spanish champions immediately looked more dangerous in the final third following the changes, though, and Marcelo curled a right-footed shot into the top corner after shaking off Kompany just outside the penalty area.

Set-pieces have troubled Madrid all season, and after Pablo Zabaleta had failed to get contact on Carlos Tevez's low cross, Kolarov delivered a free kick that found its way into the back of the net after flying without interference past defenders and attackers alike.

Incredibly, though, there was more to come and Mancini's celebrations on the sideline were short-lived. Benzema was next to strike after a mazy run from Di Maria, turning on the edge of the box and firing a powerful, low shot into the bottom corner.

And City's hearts were broken when Ronaldo stepped inside Zabaleta – who had relieved Maicon of his duties of marking the Portugal star – and released a dipping shot that beat the partially obscured Hart after Kompany had put himself in the way of the ball but failed to head clear.
