FIFA Club World Cup 2013: Bayern Munich are the Champions of the World

Bayern Munich won their fifth title of 2013 as they romped to a emphatic 2-0 victory over Raja Casablanca in the Club World Cup Final at Marrakech Stadium in Morocco.

Bayern Munich were strong favorites to win the Club World Cup and Josef Guardiola’s team did not disappoint as they easily dispatched the spirited Moroccan side who caused a big upset in the semi-finals by defeating South American champions Atletico Mineiro.

Bayern took the lead in the 7th minute when Dante finished from close range. It did not take long for Bayern to double the lead as Thiago Alcantra scored with a rasping drive. Thereafter Bayern eased down and eased to victory with minimum fuss. Thus they become the first German team to win the Club World Cup and finish their incredible year on a high.

Earlier, Atletico Mineiro finished third place at the FIFA Club World Cup after a stoppage-time winner against Guangzhou Evergrande at Marrakech Stadium. The Chinese champions put on a brave display but they were ultimately undone by the South Americans.
