| | SI.com - Soccer - Group F: Real off to flying start - Tuesday September 16, 2003 9:32PM |
 | | The sort of flicks and tricks that lit up that display were easily dealt with early on by Marseille's committed midfield, though, and the French side, who had warmed up for the game with a 5-0 win over Le Mans, had the better of the early chances. |
 | | Real were lacking their usual fluency in midfield but French playmaker Zidane, enjoying a lively opening against his hometown club, sent a rasping shot wide of the Marseille goal as the defence backed off. |
 | | Four minutes later, Roberto Carlos was felled by the keeper on a run into the box and Figo scored from the spot, after he had been obliged by the referee to take his kick twice. |
