FIFA Club World Cup: Raja Casablanca Shock Atletico Mineiro To Get Crack At Bayern

At Marrakesh, Morocco:

Mouhcine Iajour (51'), Mouhcine Moutouali (PK-84'), and Vianney Mabide (90'+4) each scored goal in the second half on Wednesday as Raja Casablanca knocked off South American champs Atletico Mineiro of Brazil 3-1 in the semifinal round of the FIFA Club World Cup.  The Green Boys became the second club from outside Europe and South America to reach the final of this tournament.  Raja will take on Bayern Munich in Saturday's final at Marrakesh.



Earlier on Wednesday, Cesar Delgado (shown here celebrating) scored twice (22', 65') as Monterrey from Mexico, the 2012-13 CONCACAF club champions, rolled over Egypt's Al-Ahly (this year's African continental kings) 5-1 in the fifth-place game.
