QATARI team al-Sadd won its first Asian Champions League title by stunning Jeonbuk Motors 4-2 on penalties following an enthralling 2-2 draw after extra time in Jeonbuk, South Korea, yesterday.
Al-Sadd goalkeeper Mohamed Saqr saved two penalties in the shootout with Nadir Belhadj scoring the winning kick to seal the US$1.5-million first prize and a place at the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan next month. Al-Sadd looked set for victory in normal time before Jeonbuk substitute Lee Seung-hyun scored a 92nd-minute header to force extra time. Jeonbuk's Brazilian playmaker Eninho had put the home side in front in the 19th before an own goal by defender Sim Woo-yeon 10 minutes later tied the score. Kader Keita then grabbed what looked like the winner on the hour before Lee's equalizer.
