YOKOHAMA, Japan -- Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero scored in the 69th minute Sunday to give Corinthians a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup. After the Brazilian team withstood steady pressure from Chelsea, Paulinho broke into the box and laid the ball off to Danilo, whose shot deflected off a defender before Guerrero stole in to head the looping ball past goalkeeper Petr Cech. This victory is the result of teamwork, each player played his own role," said Corinthians coach Tite. "There were a lot of elements to this victory. We created many chances and it was a high quality match for us. We used our marking system in the second half, we did get tired but we stayed calm." The Copa Libertadores champions joined Barcelona as the only teams to win the tournament twice, adding to their first title in 2000. The loss adds to recent disappointments for Chelsea, which became the first European champions since 2006 to not win the Club World Cup and this month became the first defending champion to be eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League. "You could see today from the first minute it was going to be tough, they were very physical and organized," said Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez, who was coaching in his third Club World Cup final. "We had many chances but their keeper was man of the match." Chelsea was reduced to 10 men when Gary Cahill was given a straight red card for a rough challenge on Emerson in the final minute of regulation. Fernando Torres headed in a goal in injury time but it was ruled offside. The Brazilians had Cassio to thank for keeping them level with some fine goalkeeping in the first half. Chelsea went close in the 11th minute on a close-range effort by Cahill but Cassio kept the ball from crossing the line with a diving save. He came up big again in the 39th when he dove to his left to knock away an angled shot from Victor Moses with one hand. Emerson blazed a through ball over the crossbar from the top of the area in the 29th for Corinthians best chance of the first half. Frank Lampard, in only his third game back from a six-week injury layoff, was a surprise starter for Chelsea. "We knew it was going to be a tough game," Lampard said. "They were very organized on counterattack. It was disappointing to come all the way out here and not win it." The tournament was the first to feature goal-line technology. Magnetic-field-based system GoalRef was used at Yokohama Stadium while Toyota Stadium was equipped with the camera-based Hawk-Eye system but neither came into play. Earlier, Mexican club Monterrey defeated Al-Ahly of Egypt 2-0 to capture third place. Beats By Dre Casques . In case the kid needs a quick history lesson, left-hander David Wells won a game for Baltimore, Cecil Fielder and Darryl Strawberry homered for the Yankees, and a youngster named Jeffrey Maier stuck his glove in the middle of the whole thing.

Thats the difference so far in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals series between the Celtics and the Hawks as the two teams prepare to meet in Game 4 at TD Garden.St. Louis Cardinals (76-69) at Los Angeles Dodgers (75-70) (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Dodgers picked a great time for their best offensive showing in over two weeks. Another strong performance on Saturday in the third contest of a four-game series against St. Louis could allow the Dodgers to pull into a tie with the Cardinals for the NLs second wild card position. Los Angeles had been held to three runs or fewer in eight straight games -- a span in which it went just 1-7 -- before breaking out offensively in Fridays 8-5 victory. The Dodgers took full advantage of their nine hits and three walks, getting home runs from Luis Cruz and Andre Ethier. The formers three- run shot in the sixth inning was the go-ahead hit. It was Los Angeles highest run total since a 10-0 win at the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 27. "Were going to enjoy this one and move on. (Ethier) and (Cruzs) homers were huge," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "This was a two-game swing. It was a big win." Cruz finished with four RBI and Adrian Gonzalez drove in two runs as the Dodgers snapped a four-game slide and moved to within one game of the Cardinals in the wild card race. Yadier Molina, Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday each hit a home run in defeat, St. Louis first in its last five games with Los Angeles. The Cardinals have lost seven of their past nine overall and hope that Jamie Garcia can solve his road issues in tonights start. The left-hander is 2-5 with a 6.19 earned run average in nine starts as the guest this season and is coming off a loss at the San Diego Padres on Monday. Garcia allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while lasting just three innings. "I didnt get the job done. I left the ball up and didnt execute," said Garcia, who is 4-7 with a 4.41 ERA in 16 starts this season. The 26-year-old has lost five of his last six decisions, going 1-3 in five starts since returning from injury. Garcia is 2-1 with a 6.91 ERA in four lifetime meetings with the Dodgers, including three starts. Los Angeles turns to Joe Blanton, who was pressed into a start on short notice last Sunday when Clayton Kershaw was a late scratch due to injury. Blanton was unable to respond and took the loss to the San Francisco Giants, yielding four runs on six hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings. That dropped the right-hander to 1-4 with a 6.25 ERA in seven starts since joining the Dodgers in a trrade with the Philadelphia Phillies.dddddddddddd Blanton, 31, is 3-2 with a 4.28 ERA in his career versus the Cardinals and faced them in St. Louis on May 24 while with the Phillies. He was hammered for seven runs on 10 hits over 4 1/3 frames in that one, getting a no-decision. Washington Nationals (89-55) at Atlanta Braves (82-63) (Sports Network) - Tommy Hanson aims to snap a personal five-game winless skid when the Atlanta Braves host the Washington Nationals in the second portion of a three-game series. Atlanta heads into Saturday facing a 7 1/2-game deficit on the Nats for the NL East lead. Theres no need to fret for the Braves, though, as they are in first in the wild card race, well ahead of the third-place Dodgers. Hanson, who is 0-3 over his last five outings, is 3-3 in 11 career games against the Nationals. Edwin Jackson, who spends his offseason in Vinings, Ga., less than a half-hour from Turner Field, gets the start today for the Nationals. The righty was pounded for nine hits and six runs over 4 2/3 innings of an 8-0 loss to Miami on Sunday. Jackson is 0-1 in five games (4 starts) against Atlanta. The Nationals next victory will be their 90th of the season. It will mark the first time a team from the nations capital will reach the mark since the 1933 AL Nationals won 99. Last night, Andrelton Simmons scored the game-winning run in the ninth inning after Ian Desmonds throw was off target in a 2-1 victory for the Braves. Simmons opened the inning with an infield single then moved to third on a Michael Bourn single. Tyler Pastornicky then cued a grounder to Desmond at short, but his throw sailed past Kurt Suzuki at the plate and Simmons scored easily. Simmons finished the game 2-for-3 and drove in a run for the Braves, who have won two in a row on the heels of a three-game skid. Craig Kimbrel (2-1) earned the win after striking out the side in the ninth. Kris Medlen started for Atlanta and allowed one run on five hits and struck out a career-high 13 batters. "We executed. We knew what we wanted to do," Medlen said. "We just kind of mixed in fastballs to lefties, change-ups away. It just all worked out." Sean Burnett (1-2) was charged with the loss after giving up the winning run in the ninth. "You cant really hang your head too much," Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth said. Washington leads the season series, 10-6. ' ' '
