Bayern Munich secured their place in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a comfortable 3-0 win over Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande, according to reports.
According to the BBC, Franck Ribery opened the scoring in the 40th minute when he drilled in low past keeper Zeng Cheng.
Croat Mario Mandzukic made it 2-0 just before half-time, heading in Thiago Alcantara's cross, the report said.
And two minutes after the break, Mario Gotze scored Bayern's third with a deflected, looping shot, the report added.
Bayern will play either South American champions Atletico Mineiro or Moroccan champions Raja Casablanca, who meet on Wednesday, in Saturday's final, the report further said.
