[VIDE0] Brazilian Kaka scored one goal and set up teammate Filippo Inzaghi's two goals to lead AC Milan to a 4-2 victory over Boca Juniors of Argentina in the final of the Club World Cup on Sunday in Yokohama, Japan.

Kaka was recently named the winner of the 2007 Golden Ball and is expected to be named the FIFA World Player of the Year on Monday.

Alessandro Nesta also scored for Milan, volleying Milan ahead for good five minutes into the second half.

The victory was the first for a European team since FIFA introduced the world club championship. San Paulo beat Liverpool, 1-0, in 2005, and Internacional of Brazil edged Barcelona by the same score in 2006.
