Real Madrid star Kaka celebrates scoring his team's second goal during their Champions League clash against Ajax at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. Kaka shone as Madrid blitzed the Dutch side with some ferocious counter-attacks. Their first goal came in a breathtaking move that took 16 seconds and involved 5 players and 7 passes.
Nine-time European champions Real Madrid strolled to a 3-0 victory over Dutch giants Ajax on Tuesday in their Champions League match to make it maximum points from their first two matches.
Goals from Cristian Ronaldo, Kaka - his first in the competition since 2009 - and French striker Karim Benzema sees them top the group two pooints ahead of Lyon. The result left Aitor Karanka - who was running things from the touchline as Jose Mourinho served out the third of his three match touchline ban - happy with both the team and Kaka in particular. "He (Kaka) has had a bad patch and it's been difficult for him, to see him happy and enjoying his football makes me happy too," said Karanka. "At no moment were we in any danger, we played to our strengths and from the first goal we were comfortable," he added.
It was a spectacularly quick counter-attack move on 25 minutes involving one touch passing from five different players that broke the deadlock, Ronaldo finishing with his right foot a move in which he was earlier involved.
Kaka received a pass from Ronaldo on 41 minutes and, instead of giving the easier return pass, turned and fired a left footed shot into the bottom right hand corner.
After the interval Madrid improved their passing game taking no more than three minutes for Kaka to finish off a sweeping move by edging the ball into the path of Benzema who made sure from 10 yards.
