Ivan Vicelich has been named in Goal.com FIFA Club World Cup Best XI following his outstanding performance for Auckland City in their 0-1 defeat to Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Vicelich, 36, was a stand-out performer for the Oceania champions during their brave showing in Japan and joins a star-studded cast that includes Chelsea pair Juan Mata and David Luiz.
Goal.com website said: "Skipper Vicelich was a rock for his side in their play-off loss to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, and was especially adept at clearing crosses sent in by the Japanese side throughout the match. His late header almost drew City even, and overall the New Zealand international's performance was representative of the progress the side have made since last year's CWC."
The 85-cap New Zealand international appeared at his third FIFA Club World Cup for Auckland City and impressed the selection panel more than Gary Cahill of England and Chelsea.
Tournament golden glove winner, Cassio, nabbed the goalkeeper slot with Corinthians team-mates Allessandro and Chicao joining Vicelich and David Luiz in the Best XI's defence.
