TOKYO, Dec 17 - Ecuador's LDU beat Mexican side
Pachuca 2-0 in pouring rain on Wednesday to reach the Club World

United.
Argentine forward Claudio Bieler gave the South American
champions the lead in the fourth minute, pouncing on a ricochet
to score after his initial effort had been blocked.
Midfielder Luis Bolanos added a second goal for Quito-based
LDU with a curling free kick in the 26th minute after a disputed
handball decision on the edge of the penalty box.
This year's surprise Libertadores Cup winners face European
