Real Madrid Defeats Real Salt Lake 2-0.

Real Madrid's newest superstar seems to be fitting in well.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored on a penalty kick and added an assist in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over namesake Real Salt Lake in an exhibition game Saturday.

Robinho also scored for Madrid off a touch pass from van Nistelrooy, the latest All-Star to join Madrid. The big Dutchman came over in a trade with Manchester United last month and showed he will fit in just fine in the Spanish capital.

Van Nistelrooy finished with four shots before leaving the game in the 73rd minute.

"I'd take a few of their players," Salt Lake coach John Ellinger said. "It was a great experience."
