Marseille put on a spirited performance after Madrid scored and it looked as if the Spanish team has taken their foot off the gas to some extent. They were punished when Hossam headed in an equaliser in the 63rd minute. It was a deserved goal for the French team.

In the 73rd minute Ronaldo finished off a wonderful move by Madrid to tap in the winner from a Raul cross.
