Esfahan: Nagoya Oceans claimed third place at the inaugural AFC Futsal Club Championship with an historic 6-5 penalty shoot-out win against Port Authority of Thailand following a 6-6 draw at Pirouzi Stadium on Friday.
For the first time at the tournament a game had gone to extra time with both sides locked at 4-4 and with neither side able to find a breakthrough in the added 10 minutes, penalties ensued.Wutachai Tintawee failed to score his spot kick before Rafael Sakai did the same for the Japanese but Siriroj Panyateerawong struck the post for the Thais to hand the victory to Nagoya.The Japanese had taken the lead after four minutes when Sakai struck a powerful effort into the roof of the net with goalkeeper Prakit Dankhunthod well beaten before they extended their lead in the ninth minute when skipper Wataru Kitahara laid the ball off for Shuta Mori to fire home.
Sakai's deflected shot bobbled into the net a minute later to put Nagoya 3-0 up and seemingly coasting but two quick goals from Ulid Rossanakarn brought Port Authority back into the game.Kaoru Morioka then swept a shot into the back of the net from Kenchiro Kogure's free-kick but again the Thais responded with just over a minute of the half remaining as Ulid's ball across the face of goal was poked into an unguarded goal by Ukrit Taengtung.Nattavut Madyalan levelled for the Thais midway through the second half when he rifled home from close range but from then on neither side could find a breakthrough and the game went to extra time.
The Thais lost Ulid midway through extra time when he was shown his second yellow card but keeper Prakit put Port Authority ahead when he found the net from his own goal kick.
Kogure levelled the scored in the 47th minute but Port Authority thought they had won it when Ukrit stabbed home with 30 seconds left only for Teppei Maruyama to immediately level and force penalties where Siriroj 's miss handed the win to Nagoya. |
