Samuel Kuffour scored in the 19th minute of extra time to clinch the Toyota Cup for Bayern Munich in Tokyo.

Kuffour coolly poked home the winner in a chaotic goal mouth melee to sink Argentinian side Boca Juniors.

Claudio Pizarro's header from a Niko Kovac corner was deflected off the line by Boca defender Clemente Rodriguez, but Kuffour was on hand to net the rebound.

The goal, which came after a scoreless 90 minutes, dashed coach Carlos Bianchi's hopes of repeating his victory here last year against Spanish giants Real Madrid.
