Jul 28, 2009 7:23:31 PM
REAL MADRID
Dudek 6 - Made two good saves in the first half and was then beaten by two headers in the second period.
Salgado 6.5 - The veteran raced up and down the flank and was even able to produce a good shot in the closing moments of the match.
Pepe 7 - A great display at the back that led to the Real Madrid fans chanting the defender's name.
Metzelder 6.5 - Looked cumbersome at times and strong at others, but regained his composure to nod home his first goal of the pre-season.
Marcelo 6.5 - Showed some good touches in the first half as he tried several shots and battled back well.
Gago 5.5 - Beaten twice at corners, with the second being a goal, and was not strong enough in midfield against a physical side.
Guti 5.5 - Frustrated at time, the playmaker was not afforded much space and he was limited with what he was able to produce.
Ronaldo 7 - Better than on Sunday, as he looked keen and sharper and did well with his one successful step-over move that won the penalty.
Robben 5.5 - Full of running, but in reality produced little to test the Liga de Quito defence and was withdrawn before half-time.
Higuain 4.5 - Virtually anonymous throughout and Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for him to recover his form from last season.
Benzema 6.5 - If he is to lead Real Madrid's assault against Barcelona next term then he will have to involve himself more.

LIGA DE QUITO
Ceballos 6.5 - Did well in a first half that saw him keep a clean sheet as the visitors only started to concede once he went off at the break.
Campos 6 - Liga de Quito's defense was breached on many occasions, but their approach was commendable and he was solid.
Espinola 6 - Strong on the ground and in the air and was able to cope with the litany of stars that he was facing.
Calderon 6.5 - A tower at the back, despite his side conceding four goals and he could well cope if a move to Spain arose.
Reasco 6.5 - Looked comfortable on the ball both at the back and when venturing into midfield and led his team.
De la Cruz 5.5 - Showed touches that proved he still has something, but did not do enough down the flank to cause Madrid problems.
Araujo 6 - A hard worker that did what was asked of him at the back and he battled to ensure that Benzema was kept quiet.
Ambrosi 6 - Was not afraid to put the boot in when required and was responsible for stopping Robben on more than one occasion.
Vera 8 - Lively going forward, and extremely useful in the air as his two goals for Liga de Quito proved.
Lara 6 - Looked like he could have been a lot more effective had the team been more adventurous as he showed some great touches.
Bieler 7.5 - Did not stop working and troubling the Madrid rearguard with his running and effort and could succeed in Europe.
