Real Madrid had to settle
for second place in their group after drawing 2-2 against Olympique Lyon.
Capello's side were thankful to save a point though after going two down in the
first half hour, Carew forcing his way through past Cannavaro and then Ramos
and Helguera to shoot wide of Casillas early on and Malouda getting ahead of
the defence to turn Juninho's free kick past Casillas for the second on the
half hour mark.
Diarra headed one back
against his old club before the break though after Van Nistelrooy headed back a
corner from Reyes, who had substituted the injured Guti minutes before. And
either side could have scored in a lively start to the second half, Ramos and
Robinho both failing to find the target, Casillas saving from Carew and Malouda
shooting over the top.
Van Nistelrooy finally
levelled the scores seven minutes from the end, scoring from close up after
Cassano had nodded on a Roberto Carlos cross which Raúl then headed
against the foot of the post. And Madrid could have won it two minutes from the
end had Coupet not saved Van Nistelrooy's penalty after the striker had been
brought down by Cris. |
