Bayern Munich defeated
Raja Casablanca 2-0 in the finals of the third club World Cup 2013 and became
the new world champions.
The
European champions added a record fifth title to their trophy cabinet at the
tournament of continental champions to go with the Champions League, Bundesliga,
German Cup, and European Super Cup triumphs in 2013.
Dante scored
early to deflate the Moroccan hosts at Marrakech Stadium, and Thiago Alcantara
put the Bavarian side in command with his goal.
Unheralded Raja, which beat Copa Libertadores champion Atletico Mineiro in the semifinals, used its speed on the break and came close to scoring but ultimately couldn’t keep up with the German champions.
