Doha: Jean Kotany was Al Sadaka's hero as he converted the winning penalty to help the Lebanese side overcome Al Rayyan and claim third place at the AFC Futsal Club Championship 2011.
After extra time had finished all square at 4-4, Kotany held his nerve to convert the winning spot kick after Mohammed Zadeh and Hamad Kassab had missed for the hosts.
Sergio had skied Al Sadaka's first penalty over the bar.
Al Rayyan had drawn first blood when keeper Rabie El Kakhi was unable to hold onto the ball and Zadeh bundled home.
The same player was unfortunate to see a long-range effort come back off the inside of the post and Al Sadaka should have equalised but Hassan Bajouk hit the woodwork with the goal at his mercy.
Mohammad Tahiri then rattled the frame of the goal with a free-kick as Al Rayyan went in at half-time a goal to the good.
Al Sadaka levelled when keeper Badi Johar's throw was intercepted and Khaled Takaji squared for Kotany to side-foot home.
Both sides had chances to win the game but it was Al Sadaka who took the lead with three and a half minutes to go when a quick break ended with Takaji finding the back if the net.
Ali El Homsi then extended their lead almost immediately but Tahiri reduced the deficit with a fine long-range strike before Al Rayyan equalised with just under a minute to go when Sergio put through his own net.
Kotany grabbed his second in the first-half of extra time when he fired past Johar but Al Rayyan hit back when Zadeh's deflected free-kick beat El Kakhi as the game eventually went to penalties, where Al Sadaka prevailed. |
