Corinthians bagged the FIFA World Club cup crown beating Chelsea 1-0 margin.






          Congrats Corinthians, bagged the FIFA World Club cup crown once again after 2000 beating European champion Chelsea 1-0 margin, Paulo Guerrero scores the solitary goal in the 68th minute of the match. After a gap of six years a Latin American side bagged this prestigious crown, lasttime it was won by a Latin American side in 2006 when Internacional won it beating Barcelona 1-0 margin. Now Corinthians share the record of winning most number FIFA World Club cup crown with Barcelona, both the sides won it twice.
            Chelsea started the game where the ended in the last year’s Champions league final, from the beginning they looked very determine to win that match while Corrithians basically depended on the counter attacks, Gary Cahill of Chelsea almost put his side ahead in the 10th minute of the game, Corinthians custodian Cassio made a desperate attempt to deny Chelsea in this occasion, goalline technology which is introduced in this tournament for testing purposed could have been used during that. Emerson of Corinthians failed to convert from the handshaking distance in the  35th minute, just after a few while Fernando Torres of Chelsea tested the opponent custodian in the dying moments of the first half. The first half remained goalless.
           In the second half we got a different Corinthians full of urge, repeatedly started to penetrate in the opponent box. Chelsea also started to utilise all their weapons, due to that they almost had their first goal while Vicor Moses took a sitter almost curled inside the net but the safe of the match by the safehands of Cassio once again denied Chelsea.
           Corinthians made the breakthrough on 69 minutes as the unmarked Paulo Guerrero headed home from close range after Danilo's shot had looped into the air off Cahill. Rafael Benitez the interim manager of Chelsea introduced Oscar in search of an equaliser and the golden chance arrived four minutes from time when the ball broke to the unmarked Torres six yards out, but the Spanish striker could only drill his shot at Cassio's legs.
           Due to an off the ball collision Gary Cahill of Chelsea got the marching order in the death.
            After swallowing the decisive goal Chelsea made few desperate attempts to equalize in the later stage of the game but unfortunately sometimes denied by the safehands of the opponent custodian sometimes by the post, the luck didn’t favour them at all while the Brazilian side highly favoured by luck guided them towards that major triumph.
