At 12:30 Lithuanian time in Japan, the second semi-final of the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup took place. It featured UEFA Champions League winner Madrid's "Real" club against representatives from Mexico - "Club America". Zinedine Zidane's pupils secured a 2-0 victory against the reigning North American club and advanced to the final. "Real" dominated possession throughout the entire match and created opportunities, but Z. Zidane was not satisfied with the finishing - out of 18 shots on goal, only six were on target. A very important goal was scored by Karim Benzema towards the end of the first half. The Frenchman redirected the ball into the opponents' goal area with a single touch after a superb pass from Toni Kroos. The second half was similar - the "whites" dominated with the ball, while the opponents had nothing to offer in attack. Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the deal at the very end of the match, scoring after a pass from James Rodriguez. The FIFA Club World Cup final will take place on Sunday. "Real" will face Japan's "Kashima" club for the title. Result: "Club America" 0 - 2 "Real Madrid" 45+2' [0 - 1] K. Benzema 90+3' [0 - 2] C. Ronaldo Starting line-ups: "Real Madrid": Keylor Navas; Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Marcelo; Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić; Lucas Vazquez, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo.
