Intercontinental cup
Real
Madrid 2 - Olimpia 0
With all their star players
back from injuries, Real Madrid have won the Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo,
adding another title and a cause for celebration in the upbeat finale to their
centenary year.
Ronaldo, whose fitness has
been questioned since joining the club, returned to the ground where he had
scored the winning goals for Brazil in the World Cup final. After securing
their early lead, he gave a commanding performance that won him the man of the
match and possibly the best footballer of the year award as well.
Del Bosque's substitution of
Guti for Ronaldo in the 82nd minute of the match also paid off, as he scored
their second goal within a minute of coming on. (03.12.02) |
