Spanish
Super Cup, second leg
Real
Madrid 3 - Mallorca 0
Real Madrid won
their first trophy of the season after defeating Mallorca in the second
leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg in Mallorca, the
league champions were held until just before half time when Raúl opened
the scoring from close up after Roberto Carlos laid the ball across goal.
Ronaldo added a second shortly after the restart after Figo put him through,
and David Beckham delighted the crowd on his home debut by heading a third goal
later in the half from Ronaldo's cross. It was not all one way traffic though,
and Casillas was called upon to make numerous saves, in particular from
substitute Jesús Perera in the second half. In the end though a
comfortable victory for Madrid, who take the title for a record seventh time.
