Martellus Bennett Patriots Jersey .Sergio Ramos and Benzema made it 2-0 at halftime, with further strikes from Bale and Francisco Isco Alarcon putting the result beyond doubt after the break.Madrids opponents in Saturdays final will be either South American champion San Lorenzo of Argentina or Auckland City, a New Zealand team of amateurs and semi-pros that is the Oceania champion. They play the second semifinal on Wednesday, also in the Grand Stade de Marrakech.Cruz Azul, the CONCACAF champion, proved no match for the pace and penetration that Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale provided for Madrid up front. Daniel Carvajal also was exceptional, marauding with Bale down the right.Cruz Azul captain Gerardo Torrado missed a chance to make the score more respectable when Iker Casillas saved his first-half penalty that lacked conviction.A win on Saturday would secure Madrid its first Club World Cup and cap an exceptional year when it also won the Champions League and Copa del Rey, while Ronaldo collected his second world player of the year award.Only a match away from a new opportunity, well be ready 100 per cent, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. I think the team deserves this title.Ronaldo did not add to his total of 56 goals in 2014 for Madrid, including 32 this season. But the match was so comfortable for Madrid that its star player allowed himself a showboat second-half shot so cheeky that Ancelottis assistants were laughing behind him on the bench.Ronaldo tried flicking in Bales cross from the left by wrapping his right foot around his left ankle to connect with the ball. Cruz Azul goalkeeper Jose Corona easily scooped up the attempt that would have been another fine addition to Ronaldos highlight reel had it gone in.Ive never seen a shot like this, but from Ronaldo we have to expect everything, Ancelotti said.Conceding that Madrid was highly superior, Cruz Azul manager Luis Fernando Tena had no complaints.Its been a joy to play such a skilful team, individually and collectively, he said.Down Madrids right, Bale and Carvajal gave a torrid lesson in speed, guile and mobility to Fausto Pinto, the Cruz Azul left-back at fault for three of the goals.Pintos first-half body-check on Carvajal, who winced and rolled away convincingly enough to get referee Enrique Osses to blow his whistle, gifted Madrid a free kick that Toni Kroos curved in with venom. Ramos decisively headed it past Corona, who was made to work hard all night, for Madrids opener.Pinto was then guilty of ball-watching as Carvajal wriggled past him and sent in a looping short cross for Benzema. The striker hared onto the ball and poked it home with an outstretched tip of his right foot after 36 minutes.Five minutes into the second half, Pinto left Bale too much space and time to head in Ronaldos cross from the left.After tormenting his markers with multiple step-overs, Ronaldo fed the ball to Isco, who dribbled through the defence to complete the scoring on 72 minutes.This was Madrids 21st consecutive victory in all matches, a record run that has seen it score 79 goals to just 10 in reply. Ancelottis men have not lost since Sept. 13, a 2-1 defeat by Atletico on day three of La Liga.Saturdays final will be Madrids last competitive match of 2014. And what a year: Madrid ended its 12-year wait for a 10th European Cup title, beating Atletico 4-1 in the Champions League final, and lifted its 19th Copa del Rey with a 2-1 win over Barcelona.In January, Ronaldo broke down in tears when he picked up the world player of the year award for 2013. In the crowd of 34,862 in Marrakech, some held up signs saying he should retain the Ballon dOr again this year against Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer, the other finalists.After a Dec. 30 friendly against AC Milan, the La Liga leader picks up its domestic campaign again on Jan. 4 against Valencia.___Lineups:Real Madrid: Iker Casillas; Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos (Raphael Varane, 64); Daniel Carvajal, Toni Kroos (Sami Khedira, 73), Asier Illarramendi, Francisco Isco Alarcon (Jese, 76); Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema.Cruz Azul: Jose Corona; Fausto Pinto, Francisco Rodriguez, Julio Cesar Dominguez, Gerardo Flores; Gerardo Torrado, Hernan Bernardello, Christian Gimenez (Marco Fabian, 65); Joao Rojas (Ismael Valadez), Mauro Formica, Hugo Pavone (Pablo Barrera, 65).

Lee scattered four hits over eight innings, struck out 10 and retired 21 of his last 22 batters to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-0 victory. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner has 38 strikeouts and two walks through his first five starts, after leading the majors in strikeout to-walk ratio and fewest walks per nine innings during each of the previous two seasons. "Thats definitely something I take pride in," Lee said. "I really focus a lot on working ahead in the count and trying to make them earn their way on base. Ive made a conscious effort over the past few years to make that one of my priorities and its going to continue to be that way." It was the fifth time Lee has had at least 10 Ks against the Dodgers and, this time, a number of their hitters were griping about umpire Hunter Wendelstedts strike zone. "Its a good thing for me when theyre complaining about called strikes. I dont see how that can be a bad thing for me," Lee said. "I know they did complain a lot on a lot of called, and thats fine with me." Carlos Ruiz hit a two-run homer and a two-run double and Ryan Howard also went deep in the opener of a four-game series against the defending NL West champions. Lee (3-2) had at least one strikeout in every inning he pitched and did not walk a batter, giving way to Jeff Manship after 113 pitches. Left-hander Paul Maholm (0-2) gave up five runs and eight hits over five innings and committed a throwing error in the fifth that gave the Phillies an unearned run. "It was frustrating just going through a long first inning, battling, not having your stuff, and doing everything possible to get deep into the game," Maholm said. "The bullpen needed a rest and unfortunately I didnt give it to them." Maholm used 29 of his 107 pitches to get out of the first after a leadoff walk to Tony Gwynn Jr. Jimmy Rollins followed with a bloop single to right-centre. Matt Kemp slowed up on the catchable ball when he saw right fielder Yasiel Puig coming hard. Both runnerrs scored on Ruizs double into the right field corner. Steve Grogan Patriots Jersey. "That was huge. An early lead is definitely good for the pitcher," Lee said. Puig tried to get one of the runs back in the bottom of the inning, but ran into an out trying to score from second on an infield hit up the middle by Adrian Gonzalez that extended his hitting streak to 16 games. Second baseman Chase Utley fielded the ball behind the bag and looked straight at Puig, who ended up in a rundown. Catcher Ruiz took the throw and chased Puig back to third before making a lunging tag for the third out with Kemp on deck. "Thats definitely advanced. That just shows that hes one step ahead of the game and a prime example of what kind of player he is," Lee said. "Maybe he could have gotten the guy at first, but he had a pretty good idea of how Puig was going to be running the bases -- and he was dead-on. He was aggressively rounding third and he was going to go all the way home. But Chase anticipated that and got him out." The Dodgers got only one more hit over the next 6 2-3 innings -- a leadoff single in the second by Kemp, who entered 1 for 15 against Lee with nine strikeouts. Lee retired the next 20 batters before Tim Federowicz singled with two out in the eighth. The Phillies made it 5-0 with a three-run fifth. Howard hit his fifth of the season one pitch after a two-out walk to Ruiz. John Mayberry Jr. singled and scored when Maholm threw the ball over Gonzalezs head at first base after fielding a tapper to the right of the mound by Freddy Galvis. NOTES: The Dodgers dedicated their training room and named it in honour of Dr. Frank Jobe, the teams longtime physician who died March 6 at age 88. On hand for the pregame ceremony was Tommy John, whose career was extended 14 years by Jobe with the elbow ligament-replacement surgery he developed and has become commonplace in baseball. ... Clayton Kershaw came out of Sundays simulated game without incident and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday as a prelude to a possible minor league rehab start later in the week. ... The Dodgers have committed 21 errors through their first 20 games.
