Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Bayern Munich book a slot in the final
Bayern Munich made it to the Club World Cup Final after beating Al Ahly 2-0 in the semi-finals.
The Bavarians hammered the African champions with a whopping total of 24 shots and controlled 68.5 percent of possession.
Al Ahly only managed five shots, two of which were on target.
Bayern opened the scoring after 17 minutes when Kingsley Coman switched the ball to Serge Gnabry on the left-wing.
Gnabry then flicked it back to Robert Lewandowski, who had no problem beating Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed Elshenawy.
The Egyptian champions failed to create any substantial chances throughout the encounter; so Bayern sealed their qualification just five minutes before full-time.
Leroy Sane delivered a cross from the right flank and found Lewandowski completely unmarked in front of open goal which allowed him to head the ball to the back of the net.
