Real takes scare of Japanese, but wins with three of CR7 and invoice 5th World.

Real Madrid conquered the world for the fifth time this Sunday and became the biggest World Cup winner in football history. But it was not easy. In order to reach this mark, the merengue team even needed an extension (after 2 to 2 in the normal time) to 'surprise the zebra' at the Yokohama stadium and beat the surprising Kashima Antlers 4-2 with three goals from the ever decisive Cristiano Ronaldo Benzema opened the scoreboard.

Very little Kashima Antlers did not provide the biggest 'zebra' in the history of the Worlds. The Japanese side came to the front (2-1) at the beginning of the second half, had some clear chances of goal at the end of the game, but left Cristiano Ronaldo free to score two goals in extra time and set the title in favor of Real Madrid.

Greatest winner of World Cups

With the cup of this Sunday, Real Madrid surpasses the Milan and isolates like greater winner of World-wide ones. It was the fifth title of the merengue team, which had already conquered the world in four other opportunities: 1960, 1998, 2002 and 2014 - it is worth remembering that the top three were still not organized by FIFA. The Italian team won the World Cup in 1969, 1989, 1990 and 2007.

Equal to equal

Failures result in 1 to 1 in Q1

Both goals of the initial stage came out after faults. The first goalkeeper Sogahata, who gave rebound forward in Modric's kick and saw Benzema complete for the nets, as early as 8min. The other error was the Real, already at 44min. Doi made a good move on the left, crossed and Shibasaki dominated wrongly; Varani did not cut and the same Shibasaki took to draw.

CR7 goes around

Cristiano Ronaldo was unrecognizable in the first half. Abusing the firsts and even missing easy dribbles (like when he was pedaling and lost the ball alone), the Portuguese became irritated with his own moves and was easy prey for the Japanese defenders. But, as he usually does, he ended the match being decisive, with one more hat-trick in the account.
"My mother, it was a very difficult game, we did not expect that they would play so well, but we played well too, we suffered a little, but the finals are like that, you have to suffer. Finish the year in the best way, "said CR7 after the final whistle.

Fabrizio, meanwhile, entered the second half and made the defense of Real run quite a bit. Slightly did not leave his mark and entered the history of the Worlds.
