European Champion, Bayern Munich, has lifted the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) club world cup after defeating Tigres UANL, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) champion, 1-0.
The trophy, which marked the sixth title lifted by the German club, was achieved following a close-range strike from France defender, Benjamin Pavard, midway through the second half of the Club World Cup final in Qatar.
Tigres, the first North American club to reach the tournament’s final, registered just a solitary shot on target compared to the German side’s nine.
This is the eighth year in a row that the Champions League winners have gone on to win the Club World Cup, as Bayern follow in the footsteps of last year’s champions Liverpool.
Earlier on Thursday, Egypt’s Al-Ahly beat Brazil’s Palmeiras 3-2 on penalties to claim third position in the tournament.
This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
