Asian Champions League
Champions cheer, Shenzhen shine
FIFA.com) 22 Sep 2005
For an evening's entertainment there have been few like it in the history of Asia's top club competition. By the end of a long night, 22 goals had winged their way between the posts to the screams of joy and shouts of anguish of millions of fanatical football followers the length and breadth of the world's largest continent.
There was the hammering - Al Ittihad's 7-2 defeat of Shandong Luneng. After a 1-1 draw in Jinan, most observers expected the Asian champions to prevail in the second Saudi Arabia-China quarter-final clash but nobody, not even Romanian coach Anghel Iordanescu, could have expected such a heavy knockout in the holder's opening defence. Still, the other Jeddah side continues to amaze after their legendary exploits in last year's final. They scored five away in that second leg, this time, at home, they struck seven - and that after fielding an early blow when Li Xiaopeng put Shandong up ('16). Osama Al Harbi ('19), Tcheco ('34), Ibrahim Sowed ('56), Mohamed Kallon ('66), Manaf Abushgeer ('77), Redha Tukar ('81, penalty) and Manaf Abushgeer ('89) did the stinging thereafter for Al Ittihad. Cui Peng had reduced the arrears to 3-2 ('61) but with the Union's new and old members in full flow, Shandong were never off the ropes and by the final bell they were truly down and out.
