Real Madrid have secured a 3-0 triumph over Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup thanks to goals from Jese Rodriguez, Raphael Varane and James Rodriguez in China.
Both sides launched out of the gates on the front foot, with players at either end of the pitch creating goalscoring chances within the first 10 minutes.
Cristiano Ronaldo had two significant opportunities to get on the scoresheet in the first half, but his finishing let him down on one occasion and the other was denied by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.
The deadlock was eventually broken in the 29th minute when Jese picked up a pass from Marcelo before sliding the ball into the back of the net.
Inter ended the first half attacking, but it was Madrid who came out firing early in the second half of the pre-season friendly after making a host of changes to the lineup.
Isco tried his luck by getting in position before sending a curling effort towards the bottom corner of the goal, but Juan Jesus made a vital block to prevent the ball from bobbling past.
Seconds later, Russian winger Denis Cheryshev, who made his senior debut in 2012, combined with Isco before unleashing a thumping shot towards goal, but his effort soared over the crossbar.
In the 57th minute, Real celebrated a second goal when Varane, who was positioned in the area after staying forward following a free kick, volleyed the ball into the back of the net from close range.
The soaring temperatures and the numerous team changes from both sides caused the game to slow down significantly in the second half.
Inter's Fredy Guarin found himself with the ball after latching on to Samuele Longo's pass, but his shot at goal failed to trouble the keeper as the ball flew well wide of the post.
Neither side posed many serious threats in the closing stages of the match until Rodriguez came close from a free kick, but Handanovic was in place to make a save.
Seconds later, though, Rodriguez got another chance from a set piece and whipped the ball into the top corner to give his side a comprehensive victory in Guangzhou.
