A relatively unknown football (soccer) team in the the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), T. P. Mazembe, today beat Brazil's mighty Internacional to qualify for the final of the Club World Cup currently taking place in Abu Dhabi. This is an important day for African football given that no team outside South America or Europe has ever reached the final of this tournament. See the goals here.
The Club World Cup is a tournament for football clubs that are the champions of their respective continents. T. P. Mazembe is representing Africa. Samuel Eto'o, the versatile Cameroon striker who plies his trade for Inter Milan, could not conceal his joy, even though his team will be meeting Mazembe next.
