first match in the Emirates cup against the Spanish
giants Real Madrid. The Egyptian forward showed his
coach Martin Jol what he can do against one of the strongest
teams in the world by a scoring a dream goal and having
two close attempts as well.
Jol decided to start with Ivica Olic and Guerrero at
front, in addition to this, Pitroipa assisted them from
behind. The formation was quite effective and Hamburg
created many chances during the first half. However,
poor finishing from Guerrero helped Dudek to keep a
clean sheet in the first half.
Real Madrid didn't create alot of chances but they
were always dangerous when they have the ball. In the
opening minutes, Van Nestelrooy squandered an easy chance
from a one on one situation with the keeper but in the
25th minute, he scored with ease from the six yards
box to give Real Madrid the lead.
In the 2nd half, Jol made a few changes, He brought
on Benjamin, Zidan at expense of Ttrochoveski and Atouba.

Jarolim and shot the ball from the edge of the box but
it went just wide.

the crossbar and go in. Zidan's goal was simply world class
as he managed to shoot despite the marking from Gabriel Heinze
and Salgado and placed the ball out of the reach of the ex-Liverpool
goalkeeper Dudek.

lineup. Real introduced the start Robinho to the pitch and
the latter made huge impact with his skills and shots.
