Bayern Munich beat Raja Casablanca to win Club World Cup

Bayern Munich comfortably beat Raja Casablanca to win the FIFA Club World Cup.

Bayern Munich have won the FIFA Club World Cup with a 2-0 win against Raja Casablanca.

Toni Kroos had a early effort that Raja goalkeeper Khalid Askri fumbled, but no Bayern player could pounce for the rebound.

However, it was 1-0 to the German side a few minutes later. Xherdan Shaqiri sent in a cross and Brazilian defender Dante hammered the ball into the roof of the net.

Thomas Muller and David Alaba combined, with the latter hitting a low shot that the goalkeeper again spilled, but he was just able to prevent it from crossing the line.

Mouhssine Iajour had a rare chance for Raja, but fired wide when a pass to a teammate seemed the better option.

That cost them as Thiago Alcantara made it 2-0 with a rasping drive into the top corner after good build-up play by Alaba. Shaqiri then hit a low drive, but Askri tipped it wide.

Raja almost grabbed a goal five minutes before half time. Manuel Neuer failed to clear properly and was stranded, but Chemseddine Chitibi's lob landed wide.

Zakaria El Hachimi fired in a good cross, but Iajour's header went straight at Neuer. It was nearly 3-0 to Bayern with an hour played when Shaqiri hit the bar from close range and Thiago missed from the rebound.

After that, Bayern were happy to play possession football, but Raja missed a great chance with under 10 minutes remaining.

An error in defence set Vianney Mabide free, but his shot was saved by Neuer and Mouhssine Moutouali missed the target from six yards.
