Ronaldo scores three as Real crash Zaragoza
Real scored four goals only in the second part with Alonso and Kaka also getting their names on the scoreboard. Ronaldo opened the score 25 minutes into the first term, while Marcelo doubled the lead just a couple of minutes later. Madrid are now top in the Spanish standings with Barca making their debut tonight against Villarreal.
It took the visitors ten minutes to create their first dangerous action at Roberto’s goal. Ozil was picked on the edge of the box only to strike it straight to the keeper. Di Maria got his first big chance four minutes later, but nor the Argentine could beat Roberto from range. Benzema then tried his luck with the left foot only to be denied by the same Zaragoza keeper.
The hosts were the first to concede a yellow card. Meira took down Ronaldo in the 21st minute to receive the first caution. The Portuguese took the responsibility for the set piece, striking it straight at the keeper. Two minutes later he did score following a superb action developed by Benzema and Ozil who fed the star inside the box for a tremendous left footer last Roberto.
Frustration then made Abraham lose concentration and receive a yellow for a tough challenge on Di Maria. Marcelo made it 2-0 in the 28th minute. A cross from the right was intercepted by the Brazilian defender who smashed it into the left hand post from ten yards or so. Ronaldo was very close to completing his double in the 33rd minute when the Portuguese was the only one able to collect the ball from a crowded box only to be denied by the keeper.
Ronaldo missed another great opportunity to complete his double in the 40th minute when the Portuguese was found unmarked inside the box, being denied by Roberto who tipped the shot away and into the corner in what should have been a third goal for Jose Mourinho’s side. The half time went 2-0 to Real, but things would get much worse for Zaragoza in the second part.
Just three minutes after eh second kick off, Ronaldo hit a ball well wide, sign of a double chase. The next huge chance belonged to the same top-scorer who fired it just wide after a long distance action which saw three Zaragoza player’s clearly beaten.
Coach Javier Aguirre made the first change in the 57th minute, introducing Edu Oriol for Abraham. Hosts’ first clear opportunity came late in the 60th minute through Da Silva who volleyed it just wide following a corner from the left. Benzema was then picked just outside the box, not being able to beat the keeper from ten yards.
Alonso made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute with a tremendous deflected shot from range into the left hand post and past blinded Roberto. Ronaldo followed him with a perfect header just over the cross bar, though Real had already drawn the clear win. Carvalho saw a yellow card in the 70th minute for a foul on Ponzio, while Ronaldo finally completed his double right afterwards.
Di Maria was picked inside the box to feed the striker in front of the goal for an onside goal. Newly arrived Jose Callejon arrived for the Argentine in the 72nd minute, while Benzema and Mesut Ozil were replaced by Higuain and Kaka respectively three minutes later.
Kaka made it 5-0 just two minutes after arriving on the pitch. The Brazilian was fed on the edge of the box, only to beat his two marks as well as the keeper with a superb shot into the top corner. For Ronaldo, the hat-trick became just a matter of time. Three minutes before the stoppage time, the Portuguese did complete his triple after Kaka’s shot from the right was deflected by the keeper as far as Ronaldo who put it home from close range.
Madrid have gone top spot with three points, the same as five other teams, including Valencia and FC Sevilla, while Zaragoza lie foot of the table alongside Espanyol.
Said the Special One: “Real Madrid have to play well in order to win. This large difference on the score means we played a great game. Real Madrid has started the season with a victory when it did so with a draw last year. It’s important for our strikers to score because their joy depends on that.”
