ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a free kick which went through the defensive wall to break Gremio's brave resistance and give Real Madrid a 1-0 victory over the South American champions in the Club World Cup final on Saturday. Overall, it was the Spanish club's sixth world title as they also won the old Intercontinental Cup -- now recognised by FIFA -- three times. "We conceded a goal from a free kick, where the ball went through the middle of the wall. Edilson had Gremio's best effort with a 35-metre free kick that dipped and swerved just over the bar -- their only shot of the match. Real broke through after Ronaldo won a free kick around 25 metres from goal.
