Guess who clinched FIFA club world club's 3rd place?

None but Al-Saad of Qatar!!!!

alsadd_kashiwaYokohama: AFC Champions League champions Al Sadd held their nerve to defeat Japan's Kashiwa Reysol 5-3 on penalties and take third place at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday.

Nadir Belhadj, who also scored the decisive penalty in a shootout in the AFC Champions League final last month, was again the hero for the side from Qatar as he scored their fifth after the game ended 0-0 after 90 minutes.

Al Sadd coach Jorge Fossati said it was a great day for football in Qatar, especially because it came on its national day.

"It's historical, no team from Al Sadd or Qatar has ever achieved third place," he said. "We are the third best club team in the world. We are at a level just under Santos and Barcelona (the finalists).

"We are happy to take this souvenir from Japan to Qatar."

His opposite number Nelsinho was left to rue several missed chances from the J.League champions.

"We didn't make the most of the opportunities," he said. "But this tournament will give us confidence for next year. We can hold our heads up high."

The clash went straight to spot kicks after a low-key game that ended in a goalless stalemate, with the first real chances of the match did not coming until mid-way through the first half, when Kashiwa threatened three times in quick succession including a snap shot by midfielder Junya Tanaka that smacked an Al Sadd post.

Moments later the Qatari side might have taken the lead on the break, but Mamadou Niang saw his powerful shot parried by Takanori Sugeno, who 10 minutes before half-time also denied Abdul Kader Keita.

The second half took on a similar theme, the Japanese side having most of the ball without really creating any concrete openings and Al Sadd defending in numbers while looking to counter-attack.

Niang might have grabbed a winner in the dying minutes, but his shot was deflected with the ball looping over the bar, and with no extra-time to be played the contest went straight to penalties.

Oh and since nobody here actually said it in the thread, Barca beat Al Sadd 4-0.
The other club was Santos (from Brazil?) which Barca also beat 4-0 in the final.
