Toyota Cup clockwatch
All the major action as European champions Real Madrid beat their South American counterparts Olimpia de Asuncion, from Paraguay, to win the World Club Cup in Tokyo.
1204: The full-time whistle goes at the International Stadium in Yokohama as Real Madrid are crowned the World Club champions.
1157: Jose Maria Guti replaces Ronaldo and within two minutes he heads a second for Real to all but seal the World Club Cup for the Spaniards. 1147: Richart Baez almost makes Real pay for their missed opportunities when the substitute gets on the end of a cross from Sergio Orteman. But the forward's header drifts agonisingly wide of the post. 1143: Real miss a glorious chance to open up a two-goal lead. Midfielder Claude Makelele misses with the goal at his mercy after the lively Ronaldo again causes the Olimpia defence problems. 1133: Real Madrid go close twice in a matter of minutes, with Ronaldo firing wide and then Luis Figo having a shot saved by an increasingly busy Ricardo Tavarelli. 1129: Roberto Carlos tries his luck from outside the area, but Ricardo Tavarelli is again up to the task as the Olimpia keeper tips the ball around the post for a corner. 1121: Raul gets the first chance of the second period but his shot from a tight angle is into the side netting. 1118: The second half kicks off at the International Stadium in Yokohama. 1103: The half-time whistle goes in Yokohama with a confident Real side deserving their 1-0 advantage. 1101: Ronaldo is close to grabbing his second of the game just before the interval after being set up by strike partner Raul, but the Brazilian fires over. 1057: Olimpia continue to look dangerous going forward and midfielder Sergio Orteman's cross finds Miguel Angel Benitez but his weak shot is saved by Real keeper Iker Casillas. 1045: Real begin to take control of the game, with Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane becoming more of an influence in midfield for the Spaniards. 1030: Olimpia are inches away from a dramatic equaliser when they hit the woodwork within two minutes of going behind.
1028: Ronaldo opens the scoring for Real with a well-worked goal. Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Carlos and Raul are all involved before the Brazilian striker fires home from the edge of the area. 1025: The game continues at a terrific pace and Roberto Carlos is close to breaking the deadlock with a shot from the left hand side, but Olimpia keeper Ricardo Tavarelli does well to tip over the bar. 1020: The Spaniards come close with their first attack of the game when Luis Figo crosses for Ronaldo, but the striker cannot direct his header on target. 1017: Real Madrid almost gift Olimpia an early lead when Ivan Helguera is close to putting the ball into his own net, but keeper Iker Casillas saves the day with a smart stop. 1015 GMT: The match gets under way at the International Stadium in Yokohama.
