Paolo Guerrero headed home a 69th-minute winner to crown Corinthians world champions for the second time with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.
Corinthians went into the match overshadowed by Chelsea's star names but backed by a huge support that dominated the 68, 275 crowd at Nissan Stadium, and both teams gave as good as they got in a lively end-to-end encounter that produced several goalscoring chances.
But Peruvian striker Guerrero was the only player who could find the target, heading home a deflection to return the trophy to Corinthians 12 years after they first won it and giving South America the title for the first time since 2006.
