Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday claimed the second Peace Cup thanks to two goals from Robbie Keane.
The English Premier League team at Seoul World Cup Stadium easily beat French champion Olympique Lyon, 3-1, to earn the prize of two million dollars.
Tottenham took an early lead in the seventh minute courtesy of an own goal by Lyon defender Jeremy Berthod.
Keane scored his first goal on a header two minutes later and again in the 45th minute on an easy shot after a pass from teammate Mido.
Losing for the second straight time in the tournament's final, Lyon finally got on the board with a Hatem Ben Arfa penalty in the 73rd minute.
South Korea will also host the third Peace Cup in 2008, with the domestic league champion to represent the country.
