AFC Club Futsal: Nagoya Oceans win 2019 title

Nagoya Oceans of Japan have won the title after overcoming Iran’s Mes Soongoon 2-nil in the final of AFC Futsal Club Championship in the Thai Capital Bangkok.

The Iranian defending champions stepped into the game looking to avenge their 3-2 loss to Oceans in the group stage.

However, they fell behind to an early Neto Antonio Hirata strike after a defensive mix-up in the 7th minute.

A stunned Mes Soongoon created and wasted several chances as Oceans took a 1-nil lead into the break.

That advantage was doubled in the 34th minute when Ryo-hei Ando volleyed home a corner and the Iranian side immediately switched to their power play mode.

Nagoya Oceans however, held on to their lead to deny Mes back-to-back crowns and win a record-extending 4th AFC Futsal Club Championship title themselves.
