The African champions fell to defeat against Bayern Munich a few days ago but rose spectacularly to shoot down Brazilian champions Palmeiras on Thursday

Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi applied the decisive touch at the Education City Stadium as Egyptian giants Al Ahly defeated Palmeiras on penalties to claim the bronze medal at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Nothing could separate the African kings and the South American lords in Qatar with full-time and extra-time scores locked at one-all.

But second-half substitute Ajayi powered home his spot-kick to help Al Ahly secure a 3-2 victory after penalties.

Details shortly.
