Sanchez’s side eventually secured a 2-0 win over the West Asian side with goals from Ab- dulaziz Hatem and Almoez Ali, but they had to wait to break down Miodrag Radulovic’s well-drilled Lebanese side. The Spanish coach, though, praised his team’s pa- tient approach and has no in- tention of a different approach when they take on DPR Korea, with victory almost certain to take the Qataris into the next phase of the competition. “Each match is different and we cannot renounce the way we play,” said Sanchez. “It’s difficult to change now, but we need to find solu- tions to be more close to the opposition’s goal. “But in front you always have an opponent and Leba- non showed they’re a well or- ganised team and they were Qatar players during their training session in Al Ain on Saturday, ahead of the Group E match against DPR Korea in the Asian Cup 2019.

The establishment of the AFC U22 Championship is two-fold: to provide the platform for players who have finished their youth training to transition to the senior level; and to serve as the qualifying competition to determine Asia’s representatives in the Olympics. Congratulations to the winners Iraq, who won the competition due to their discipline, teamwork and strong tactical understanding. The historical win though was not without a determined challenge from fellow finalists Saudi Arabia. In the end, Iraq’s perfect record in the competition was telling, as they continued their rich vein of form of the past few years. All in all, the inaugural competition was very well contested and traditional powerhouses like Japan, Korea Republic and Iran were given strong challenges by other up-and-coming nations.
