ASIA'S finest flexed their muscles at soccer's Club World Cup yesterday with continental champion al-Sadd of Qatar and Japanese title holder Kashiwa Reysol battling into the semifinals.

Al-Sadd ground out a tempestuous 2-1 win over Tunisia's Esperance in Toyota, Japan, to advance to a dream semifinal against Spain's European king Barcelona. Reysol then upset Mexico's Monterrey 4-3 in a nerve-jangling penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw to earn a crack at Libertadores Cup holder Santos of Brazil.
