"I think I am not in the best condition to analyse it. At this moment, my feeling is stronger than
my reason."
Those were the words of Jorge Fossati, the coach of newly-crowned Asian Champions Al Sadd, deep in
the bowels of Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Saturday evening. The Uruguayan had just watched a
fantastic final in which his team overcame favourites and host Jeonbuk Motors thanks to a penalty
shootout.
This says it all:
'Qatari club... failed to qualify for the tournament and was only granted entry after a Vietnamese
team was barred for failing to submit the correct documentation... Al Sadd lost both legs in the
quarterfinals but still made it to the last four. After losing, 1-0, at home to Sepahan, the Asian
confederation gave the losers a 3-0 win after discovering that the Iranian team had fielded an
ineligible player.
