Hannu Tihinen (R) of FC Zurich (FCZ) is challenged by Real Madrid's Kaka during their Champions League soccer match at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich September 15, 2009

Higuain added a third on the stroke of half time. He worked the shooting chance himself and left the Swiss keeper with no chance. The game looked to be a walkover for Real, but in the second half, Zurich fought back bravely and two goals in the space of a minute got them right back into things.

Things began to go wrong after Xabi Alonso had to leave the pitch with knee injury.

After 64 minutes Xavier Margairaz scored a penalty after Iker Casillas had fouled Alexandre Alphonse and a minute later it was 3-2 after Sylvan Aegerter nodded home from a corner.

That was the sign for Zurich to go all out for the equalizer as Madrid suffered for 25 minutes.

However, Ronaldo's second goal of the night following a disastrous error from Zurich keeper Johnny Leoni, calmed nerves among the Spaniards and Guti's 94th minute goal following a Kaka pass gave the final score a sheen that five minutes earlier had looked unlikely.
