Milan will face South American champions Boca Juniors in Sunday's final between the two pre-tournament favorites.

Brazilian striker Kaka set up Dutch international Seedorf to break the deadlock with a neat cross after Milan had dominated for much of the time against their J-League opponents.

The partisan home crowd did their best to lift Urawa against Milan, who have won the former Inter-Continental Cup three times, but to litle avail.

A 67,000 crowd watched the match in the Yokohama International Stadium, the venue for rthe 2002 World Cup final.

Argentina giants Boca beat Etoile Sahel of Tunisia 1-0 on Wednesday to reach the final against Milan.

It will be a repeat of the 2003 final of the inter-continental competition which Boca won on penalties. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
