Lebanon's Al Ahed FC wins AFC Cup

Lebanon's Al Ahed FC beat 4.25 SC from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) 1-0 at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium here on Monday to claim the AFC Cup.

The DPRK team put on a strong showing throughout the first half of Asia's second-tier club competition, but suffered a setback when goalkeeper An Tae-song was sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity for forward Ahmed Zreik.

Despite being reduced to 10-men, the DPRK team fend off the attacks of their Middle Eastern counterparts, ending the first half without a goal.
