Asian Cup Offers Early Candidate For Goal Of 2011

Posted: 12 Jan 2011 09:14 AM PST

Qatar was in a precarious position heading into their match with China. With Uzbekistan already qualified, they needed a win, or else a draw would risk a ‘resting’ Uzbekistan side to fall to China with a draw, or simply leave the tournament as hosts in the groups.

Yusef Ahmed took care of matters by scoring a goal which was so good the Qatari federation would’ve requested it count for two at halftime had he not rendered the point moot by scoring a second just moments before the half. (And at this moment, halftime 2-0 is where we stand.)

See both of Ahmed’s goals and all of the goals from the tournament on our Asian Cup goals page.
