This Sunday, 18 December Sao Paolo beat Liverpool and won FIFA Club World Championship 2005. The way to this victory wasn’t easy. In semi-final Sao Paolo hardly managed to achieve victory over Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia with the score 3-2, which shows how tense the game was. Liverpool – the last season Champion’s league winner and the club at that moment coming second in English Premier League was considered a favorite in the final. However Sao Paolo broke all the forecasts. The hero of the game, midfielder Mineiro scored a goal in the middle of the firs time and this goal turned out to be the only. It was seen Liverpool needed the victory too, but they haven’t succeeded in their attacks. What a pity for the titled English club, and what a pleasure for the Brazilians.
