AC Milan win FIFA Club World Cup title

Internet



Filippo Inzaghi scored twice as AC Milan beat Boca Juniors to win the Club World Cup in Japan. Inzaghi struck after a Kaka pass after 21 minutes but Boca equalised a minute later through Rodrigo Palacio's header. Alessandro Nesta's volley, Kaka's solo run and finish and Inzaghi's second - all in the space of 10 minutes - settled the match in Milan's favour.

Kakha Kaladze saw red, as did Boca's Pablo Ledesma, while Milan's Massimo Ambrosini scored an own goal.

"I'm really satisfied - this trophy is what I've missed all along," said Kaka.

"I really thank God for this year as we won the trophy which is so hard to get."
