Al Kass International: Real Madrid Win on Pens to Reach Final

Doha, February 13 (QNA) - Real Madrid reached the final of Al Kass 2016 after a dramatic penalty shootout today against Red Bull Salzburg that finished 9-8, after the game of the tournament so far had ended 2-2 in normal time. Los BLancos had remained unbeaten throughout Al Kass, although their quarter-final match against Kashiwa Reysol was a goalless affair that was also settled on penalties. Prior to that game, the Spanish side had demonstrated their pedigree with emphatic performances against Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Ahli. Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg had shown themselves to be a highly organized and a tactically aware outfit, progressing to the semis by easily beating Glasgow Celtic, with only a narrow defeat to Estudiantes blotting their copy book before they eased past Aspire Academy. Real Madrid's goal keeper scored from the spot in the shootout before saving from his opposite number. (QNA)
