JAPAN SOCCER
Brazilian club Fluminense defeats Italy's Torino Calcio 2-0 to win Kirin Soccer Cup.

The Brazilian club side Fluminense won the Kirin Soccer Cup in Tokyo on Sunday (31/5) by defeating Italy's Torino Calcio 2-0 in the final. Washington opened the scoring for the Brazilians with a header in the 26th minute and the Italian side found their backs against the wall after one of their defenders put the ball into his own net after a goalmouth scramble a minute before the interval. Fluminense's goalkeeper Paolo Victor was in outstanding form, saving several cracking shots from his Brazilian compatriot Junior, who was playing for Torino at fullback. En route to the final, Fluminense drew 0-0 with Japan's national team, then drew 1-1 with Torino and beat Africa's Senegal national team 7-0. Brazilian coach Jose Luis Carbone was well pleased with his side's performance, saying this was their best match out of four that they played. Torino manager Romano Cazzaniga on the other hand, told reporters with true Italian panache: "We played without our top three players, like Kieft. If they were here, we would have had a much better game."
