EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- European soccer powerhouses Real
Madrid and A.S. Roma played to a scoreless tie Wednesday night in
an exhibition game at Giants Stadium.
The match, honoring Real Madrid's 100th anniversary, benefited
the Global AIDS fund and brought out U.N. Secretary-General Kofi
Annan and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Real Madrid, with seven World Cup players in its starting
lineup, had two good early scoring chances. Roberto Carlos was
stopped on an indirect kick in the ninth minute, and fellow
defender Ivan Heguiera sent a header wide seconds later.
Roma's Damiano Tomassi missed with a hard shot from just outside
the box in the 41st minute, and Madrid's Esteban Cambiasso headed
the ball just wide of goalkeeper Luis Cesar Sanchez in the 60th
minute.
