Zinedine Zidane's side will face Kashima Antlers for the right to be crowned Club World Cup champions after edging out the CONCACAF Champions League winners

Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo got the goals as Real Madrid edged out Club America 2-0 to secure a spot in the Club World Cup final.

Zinedine Zidane named a strong side against the CONCACAF Champions League winners, but saw his UEFA Champions League holders muster just one goal.

That effort arrived on the stroke of half-time, with Benzema clipping home a classy effort.

He was cleverly picked out in the box by the vision of Toni Kroos and made no mistake with a clipped finish off the outside of his right boot.
