Van Nistelrooy does it again
Tuesday 30 September 2008
Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a first
half winner tonight to give his club Real Madrid a 1-2
win over Zenit St. Petersburg, the club coached by Dutchman
Dick Advocaat.
It's Van Nistelrooy's eighth goal
of the season in eight official matches this season.
The Dutchman also scored the winner
in a 1-2 win over Betis Seville on Saturday.
The Spaniards went 1-0 up after
4 minutes when Hubocan diverted a Van der Vaart cross
into his own goal.
Only 20 minutes later the home
team equalized after Danny beat Gabriel Heinze to an
Arschavin cross.
But the Russians were back trailing
the Spanish champions soon after.
In the 31st minute Van der Vaart
picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box.
His shot was deflected into the
feet of Van Nistelrooy who beat Malafeev from five meters
out.
Madrid now have six points from
two games in Champions League group E.
Zenit remain without points after
they lost 1-0 to Juventus in their first game.
