A depleted Real Madrid side
drew 2-2 at Dynamo Kiev, Ronaldo scoring twice in the last five minutes to
ensure a point and a half share of the 600,000 prize money. All four
places had already been decided, Capello's side sure of second spot, with the
Ukrainians last after only picking up one draw in their first five group games.
And the coach used the opportunity to give a run out to second choice keeper
Diego López, plus a few of the B team youngsters, Torres, De la Red and
Nieto in the line up with a few others on the bench.
The hosts went two up with
less than half an hour on the clock, Shatskikh getting ahead of Mejía to
turn in the first and then beating Diego López at the second attempt to
score his second of the night. The Spaniards had had their chances in between
though, De la Red firing a shot just over the bar early on, and Nieto and
Cassano bringing good saves out of Shovkovskiy. And Salgado could have pulled
one back when he shot into the side netting close to half time.
The only thing at stake was
the prize money, but Madrid didn't give up, and Beckham hit the post with a
long shot after the restart. It looked though as if they would be going home
empty handed before Beckham's corner was headed on for Ronaldo to pull one back
with just five minutes to go. And just two minutes later the striker equalised
from the spot after he was pushed over in the penalty area. |
