Destiny wanted  these two teams to play the final for AC MILAN to rewrite history.  In 2003, Boca Juniors and Milan played the final ending with a victory for Boca Juniors in penalty kicks. Today, it is time for AC Milan to rewrite a new chapter. Will AC Milan win?  Will Boca Juniors win?  We will find out today.

Both teams can WRITE a new chapter in football history, only Boca Juniors and AC Milan have won 3 Intercontinental tiles. The question is which one will take the lead by winning this final in the Yokohama International Stadium? Let's hope it is AC MILAN.

The stage is set, lights, camera, action!  Referee Marcos Rodriguez whistles the start of the match.  May God bless our Milan!  Come on guys, we are all with you supporting each one of you.

I don't know how I am going to narrate this match because I am the "12th man along  with millions of Milan fans worldwide playing along our 11 rossoneri."  Come on guys!  We can do it!

It seems Boca strategy is to not allow any space to our Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo.  This strategy leaving an unmarked Kaka? Clearly, Boca Juniors Coach Miguel Angel Russo wants to have an aggressive match and not go back a single step, while Milan seems to wait and see Boca's intentions.  I love how Milan is pressuring too, especially our beloved captain Paolo Maldini.

In the 3rd minute, Boca first shot on goal with Nery Cardozo from the edge of the penalty area, fortunately, the ball is high!  A minute later, the roaring lion Gennaro Gattuso stop Banega and Milan counterattack, come on guys

 Oh my God, mamma mia!  In the 5th minute, our Filippo Inzaghi tries to shoot from the right hand side inside the penalty area. oh noooo the ball caressed the net of Boca goalkeeper Caranta! 

Great move by Maldini in the 8th minute sending a long ball for Pippo Inzaghi... gee, Boca Paletta heads the ball clear!  Excellent pass from Maldini who is playing like a young teenager despite his 39 years younger.

Now, Massimo Ambrosini in the 8th minute just when he was to shoot, Boca defense deflects the ball.  Mamma mia!

wow, danger, alert guys, in the 11 minute Boca Alvaro Gonzales shoots uuuffaa, the ball is off target!!! Milan better be alert. Our defense cannot allow Boca these opportunities.

Our Musica and Magia wonder boy Kaka  gets a ball on the edge of the penalty area,, uffa.... not possible. Paletta clears and anticipate Kaka.

Oh no, not again, this Paletta anticipates Pippo Inzaghi when Pirlo sends a cross for Inzaghi!

In the 18th minute, Alessandro Nesta now anticipates Ibarra when he tries to connect with Boca Captain's Palermo. Good job Nesta!

Maldini is playing great!  In the 19th minute sends a cross to Kaka who shoot from inside the penalty area but blocked by this PALETTA again!!!!! Oh no, somebody mark this Paletta!!!

                              

oh oh , yes.. it is goal!   Pippo Inzaghi, the one and only scores for Milan after Kaka cross on the right finding Inzaghi who just blasted the net of Goalkeeper Caranta.  Boca Juniors 0 - 1 AC Milan

uffa.. not possible, oh no.... Boca counterattacks and score!!!! Rodrigo Palacio following a corner kick equalized the score when heading towards the net!!!! In the 23rd minute. Boca Juniors 1 - 1 AC Milan

Boca Juniors suddenly lost the pace. Milan is now controlling the match. Oh noooo, speaking too soon?  In the 26th minute Alvaro Gonzalez just heads the ball  towards goal.  Save by the belll, the ball goes wide!

A great combination by Milan who is now energized, in the 28th minute, Musica and Magia boy Kaka  along with Ambrosini and Seedorf tries to get inside the penalty area uuufaaa, what a luck, he slipped!  A wasted opportunity to score.

                                

In the 50th minute, Alessandro Nesta scores GOOOOOAALLL wow... grande Nesta!!!!!  Boca Juniors 1 - 2 AC Milan

Nesta is rewriting history!!!!! Milan is winning!  Come on guys!!!! Inzaghi and Nesta authors of the two goals leading Milan to the top of the world!!!

In the 59th minute, Hugo Ibarra shoots!!! OH NOOOOOOOO Saved by the post!!! Just like Mexican Commentator LA TORRE DE JALISCO would say, "Palo, hierro, hule, y metal"  the ball hits the post!!!!! 

Eleven minutes later, wowww, awesome, beautiful... Kaka scores in the 61st minute!!!Kaka shoots from the left hand side  with MUSICA and MAGIA!!!!!!   Boca Juniors 1 - 3 Milan

 Awesome, MILAN is finalizing the new chapter for this FIFA Club World Cup and KAKA is just adding the final touch with his third goal!!!!!!!

                            
Inthe 70th minute,,, again, the SUPER DUPER Pippo Inzaghi!!!!!!!  A great combination with Seedorf, Kaka, and Inzaghi!!!! Andrea Pirlo started the action in teh 69th minute sending a cross to kaka, woww, this is heaven!!!  Boca Juniors 1 - 4 Milan

Inzaghi just finished writing the chapter!!!!!  HE DID IT!!! oops he did it again!!!

                       

Oh nooo, Milan Coach Ancelotti substitutes Filippo Inzaghi in the 76th minute for Cafu.  Well done Pippo!!!!
well done, you did it!!!! Super Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Inzaghi!!!

In the 77th minute, RED CARDDDDDDD Kakha Kaladze sent off by Referee Marcos Rodriguez!!!!!!!
oh no, not even Kaladze has finished abandoning the field when Claudio Rodriguez profits and shoots to Milan's net!  Fortunately, the ball goes way high above the post!!!

A great save by Dida in the 80th minute when Boca Captain Martin Palermo shoots after a cross from Rodriguez!  Great save DIDA!!!!

In the 85th minute, ufffaaaa an own goal by Massimo Ambrosini.    Oh no, but i'ts ok, calm down Ambrosini. You did it for defending us and did not work, but you are great, dont worry. We are still winning

In te 88th minute, woww, Pablo Ledesma sent off with a straight RED CARD for a foul on KAKA.

Now the situation is even, both with 10 men.

In the 90th minute, Referee Marcos Rodriguez signals 3 minute stoppage time.

93rd mnute, it's over, it's over... WE DID IT.... MILAN won.... We are the best Clubbbbbb... Milan is the best!!!!!

                      

You did it guys!!!! You are the best!  Thanks for this great match and for making all Milan and Italian fans happy with your victory.
