However, having lost Ousmane Dembele to injury, their finishing was a big let-down. Botafogo maintained their cool and expertly weathered the PSG storm.<\/p>\n<p>In the 36th minute, Botafogo carved out a rare goalscoring opportunity, as Jefferson Savarino played Igor Jesus through on goal. The striker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/west-ham-united-igor-jesus-club-world-cup\/\">who is set to join Nottingham Forest<\/a>, pulled off a clever change of direction before firing at goal.

Aloisio Chulapa played an impeccable defence-threading through ball, and Mineiro timed his run perfectly to latch onto it. The midfielder held onto his composure and rolled the ball past Liverpool stopper Pepe Raina, making it 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>The Merseyside club threw the kitchen sink at Sao Paulo for the remaining 70-odd minutes, but the Brazilian side held on. Sao Paulo&#8217;s legendary goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni made several saves, including a fingertip stop to deflect Steven Gerrard&#8217;s free-kick.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool had 21 shots in that match, 17 more than their opponents, but the trophy went to the South Americans.<\/p>\n<h3>Internacional Beat Ronaldinho&#8217;s Barcelona in 2006 Club World Cup Final<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53401\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Internacional-Defeated-Barcelona-in-2006-560x411.avif\" alt=\"Internacional Defeated Barcelona in 2006\" width=\"560\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Internacional-Defeated-Barcelona-in-2006-560x411.avif 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Internacional-Defeated-Barcelona-in-2006-350x257.avif 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Internacional-Defeated-Barcelona-in-2006-768x564.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Internacional-Defeated-Barcelona-in-2006.avif 888w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Internacional Defeated Barcelona in 2006<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A year after Sao Paulo&#8217;s memorable win, Brazilian outfit Internacional qualified for the Club World Cup final.

However, Internacional refused to give in to their stature. Frank Rijkaard&#8217;s Barcelona completely dominated proceedings, but Abel Braga&#8217;s Internacional were impenetrable.<\/p>\n<p>Just as fans and Barca players were preparing for extra time, Internacional launched a blistering counter-attack. The ball found its way to substitute Adriano Gabiru, who had entered the field just moments earlier. Gabiru produced an ice-cool finish under pressure, beating Victor Valdes and securing a 1-0 win for the underdogs. His goal made Internacional the best team in the world for the first and only time.<\/p>\n<h3>Corinthians Stun Premier League Giants Chelsea in 2012 Club World Cup Final<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53400\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Corinthians-Beat-Chelsea-in-2012-Club-World-Cup-Final-560x350.webp\" alt=\"Corinthians Beat Chelsea in 2012 Club World Cup Final\" width=\"560\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Corinthians-Beat-Chelsea-in-2012-Club-World-Cup-Final-560x350.webp 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Corinthians-Beat-Chelsea-in-2012-Club-World-Cup-Final-350x219.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/Corinthians-Beat-Chelsea-in-2012-Club-World-Cup-Final.webp 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corinthians Beat Chelsea in the 2012 Club World Cup Final<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The previous South American triumph in the Club World Cup came in 2012, as Corinthians overcame European champions Chelsea.
