Gareth Bale completed an extraordinary hat-trick of cup final goals to help earn Real Madrid the crown of World Club Champions ending an incredible year of success for the Welsh international and his team-mates. He also scored in the European Cup and the Spanish Cup finals in 2014.
Bale ran onto an Isco pass six minutes into the second half and fired low under the diving body of San Lorenzo keeper Sebastian Torrico to double Real Madrid’s lead. Sergio Ramos had crashed a header home in the first half from a Toni Kroos corner to put Madrid in front.
Iker Casillas, playing his 700th competitive game for the club, lifted the trophy. He has now won every major honour in club and international football.
Goal-hero Ramos was voted man of the match but there were many candidates with his central defensive partner Pepe also outstanding and Toni Kroos superb in midfield. It was his corner that Ramos headed in on 37 minutes.
