S. Korea's Pohang Steelers win Asian Champions League

SEOUL, Nov. 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Pohang Steelers won the 2009 Asian
Champions League on Saturday, beating Saudi champs Al Ittihad 2-1.

In the League final held earlier in the day at Tokyo's National Stadium, the
Steelers, this year's Korean league title holder, held the lead throughout the
match.
The Steelers became South Korea's first Asian champions since 2006. Four-time
Korean league champions and two-time winners of the previous Asian club
championship in the late 1990s, the squad booked their spot in FIFA's Club World
Cup to be held in Abu Dhabi next month.
