European
champions Inter Milan lifted the Club World Club Saturday through a 3-0
win over TP Mazembe at the Zayed Sports City stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Goran Pandev and Samuel Eto'o in the first 20 minutes stunned the
defence of the African champions from the Democratic Republic of Congo,
who failed to produce a telling reaction as the Nerazzurri dominated
through most of the game.

Frenchman Ludovic Biabiany scored a late third goal off an assist by
Dejan Stankovic after coming on up front for Argentine Diego Milito.

Macedonian striker Pandev scored on 14 minutes off a feed volleyed
from Eto'o and also thanks to a botched clearance from Kazembe Mihayo.

Four minutes later, Argentine captain Javier Zanetti squared from the
right for Pandev, who failed to connect but helped the lurking Eto'o.

The Cameroon forward aimed for the far post and goalkeeper Muteba Kidiaba no chance.

Milito had great first-half chances on 25 and 42 minutes, but
dithered on both occasions and allowed Kidiaba to block his breaks into
the area.

Inter came close again on the hour, when Brazil defender Douglas
Maicon saw Kidiaba push his cross against the woodwork before Inter
colleague Julio Cesar blocked a dangerous break from Dioko Kaluyituka.

Two more efforts from Kaluyituka went begging as Inter's Brazilian
goalkeeper blocked the striker's break into the box and a drive after he
had the better of defender Lucio.

Inter closed 2010 lifting a fourth trophy after triumphs in the
Italian Serie A, the Italian Cup and the European Champions League.

In the 1960s, Inter twice won the Intercontinental Cup, a trophy
played by the winners of continental titles in Europe and South America.
The Club World Cup is played by the winners of continental tournaments
in the seven federations recognised by world body FIFA.

Earlier Sunday, Alecsandro netted a brace as Brazilian side Internacional beat Asian champions in the third-place play-off.
