    MADRID, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over MLS side DC United in Washington in the second match of the club's North American tour on Sunday night.

    The victory came after Real's 5-1 win in Toronto on Friday.

    However, the Spanish soccer giant had to wait until well into the second half before Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring.

    The Argentinean, who could lose his place following the signing of players such as Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, scored two goals in two minutes to put his side ahead.

    He made the first goal himself in the 57th minute and scored a right foot shot after taking a pass from Arjen Robben at 59.

    Robben added a third goal, his second in two games, on 69 minutes.

    The game kicked off after a minute's silence in the memory of Espanyol captain Daniel Jarque, who died of a heart attack on Saturday.

    Maybe affected by that, the first half was a dull affair. However, although Ronaldo had a disappointing game, Higuain changed everything.

    Real Madrid now returns to Spain to continue with preparations for the Spanish season, which kicks off on the last weekend of the month.
