Big shock last night in the Club World Cup with TP Mazembe from DR Congo, African champions two years running, defeated Brazilian side and Libertadores winner Internacional.

It's already a bit of a surprise to see a Congolese side win things in a continent dominated by the richer leagues in the north of the continent (or maybe not if they've got a benefactor?), but even more so that an African club side has reached the final for the first time ever, defeating one of the favourites. Well done!
