So close yet so far

I am talking of course about the Asian U-16 Championship. In the great final youngsters from Bahrain won the lead after 44th minute goal by Ali Muneer Redha. Even though Australia went to the dressing room with one goal behind, the half-time team talks seemed to work. Three minutes before the end of the match Marc Warren buried the hopes of Bahrain and equalised. The extra time saw no goals. During the penalties session, both teams were very accurate and only the last miss of Abdullah Khalifa Mohamed sealed Bahrain's fate. Australia won 5:4 on penalties. Bad luck Bahrain, bad luck.
