Marrakes, Maroko (B2B) - Dua gol Real Madrid ke gawang San Lorenzo membawa raksasa Spanyol itu menggondol tropi Piala Dunia Antarklub di Stade de Marrakech, Maroko.
Dua gol Madrid dicetak oleh Sergio Ramos menit 37 dan Gareth Bale menit 51.
Madrid menguasai pertandingan dan menciptakan banyak peluang sejak pluit babak pertama dibunyikan. Tetapi hanya bisa mencetak satu gol di babak pertama karena solidnya pertahanan San Lorenzo.
Madrid seharusnya bisa membuka keunggulan pada menit pertama. Ketika Toni Kroos dengan kecepatannya mengumpani Ronaldo. Kemudian bintang Portugal itu mengirimkan umpan silang ke gawang, tetapi Benzema tak bisa menjakaunya.
Cristiano Ronaldo mencetak 17 gol musim lalu di Liga Champions, satu lebih dari seluruh gol San Lorenzo di Libertadores 2013-2014, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Menit 37 Sergio Ramos membuat Madrid unggul setelah menerima umpan dari Kroos. Sundulan Ramos tak bisa dihalau Torrico.
Sergio Ramos telah mencetak gol lebih dari pemain belakang di La Liga selama 2014.
San Lorenzo mencoba menjadi klub Argentina pertama untuk memenangkan tropi Piala Dunia Antarklub sejak turnamen dimulai dalam format ini pada 2005.
Menit 51 gawang Torrico kembali jebol. Kali ini oleh Gareth Bale. Berawal daru umpan silang Isco di dalam kotak penalti, kemudian Bale melesakkan tendangan lurus ke kiper. Tetapi Torrico meleset menangkap bola dan bergulir masuk ke gawang.
Menjelang babak kedua usai Cristiano mendapat peluang ketika umpan silang ke kotak penalti disambut dengan kepalanya. Tetapi sundulannya tepat ke arah Torrico.
Marrakech, Marocco - Real Madrid have another title to add to their ever-expanding mantle.
Making their first appearance in the finals of the 14-year-old tournament, Los Blancos claimed their first Club World Cup by handily beating San Lorenzo 2-0 Saturday in Marrakech.
Goals from Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale, along with excellent ball control from Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the midfield assured Madrid of their 22nd straight victory in all competitions.
The new hardware should only bolster the confidence of the Spanish Primera leaders as the calendar turns the corner for the second half of the domestic season.
Madrid maintained a 66-34 possession advantage and garnered seven shots on target, whilst holding San Lorenzo to three all evening.
But it it took a bit of time before Madrid could find the weaknesses in San Lorenzo’s defense, until Ramos eventually put them on the board in the 37th minute.
Toni Kroos sailed a fine corner kick into the heart of San Lorenzo’s penalty area, where the defender Ramos levitated and struck his header into the bottom right corner. It was the second goal in as many matches for Ramos.
Later in the 51st minute, Bale and Isco would hook up for the insurance goal. Los Blancos meticulously worked the ball around San Lorenzo’s defense, with Isco slipping a low pass upfield to Bale in the penalty area.
Bale fired a right-footed strike that keeper Sebastian Torrico was able to get in front of, but couldn’t stop from trickling through and into the net.
