- Yokohama F.Marinos crushed 5-1 in Asian Champions League final
- Australian manager Kewell blames ‘shocking’ refereeing for loss
A furious Harry Kewell claims his side “got robbed by a bad referee” as his dream of outdoing his Australian predecessors by guiding Yokohama F.Marinos to an Asian Champions League triumph came to a bitter end.
Kewell’s Japanese side were humbled 5-1 by Al-Ain in the showdown in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, condemning them to a 6-3 defeat on aggregate and ending his ambition of guiding them to their first ACL trophy after just four months at the helm.
