Corinthians Wins FIFA Club World Cup 2012; Beat Chelsea FC 1-0

Brazil's Corinthians won the FIFA Club World Cup 2012 beating English giants Chelsea FC 1-0 in the final played at the Nissan Stadium (Yokohama), Japan on December 16. This is their second Club World Cup title having already lifted the cup in 2000.

Both clubs missed lot of chances to score in the match with Chelsea FC being the more dominant side but failing when it comes to final touch. Peruvian international Paolo Guerrero (28) scored the lone goal of the match with a header in the 69th minute for the Brazilian outfit. Fernando Torres was the main culprit for the English side missing easy scoring chances but that’s how the ‘Beautiful game’ rolls sometime. Torres did find the net in the 90th minute but was ruled off-side. Corinthians keeper Cassio, who made some sensation saves in the final, was rightfully named ‘Player of the tournament’.

Mexican side Monterrey defeated African champions Al Ahly 2-0 in the third place play-off.
