Real Madrid 1-0 FC Zurich: Edge closer



uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
Real Madrid edge closer all but assured their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with an lacklustre 1-0 victory over FC Zurich in Group C.

Manuel Pellegrini's men barely broke sweat as they defeated the Swiss outfit at the Santiago Bernabeu. Gonzalo Higuain scored the decisive goal in the 21st minute with a straightforward finish.

The highlight of the second half was the return of Cristiano Ronaldo who replaced Raul for his first appearance in almost two months.

With Milan and Marseille drawing at the San Siro, Zurich are out, leaving Madrid two points clear at the top with a game to go.

The Rossoneri, in second place, travel to Zurich, while Marseille host the Galacticos at the Stade Velodrome needing at least a win to qualify.
