Wanderers conquer ACL now for world Champions of Asia after just two years, the Western Sydney Wanderers are not done yet as they get ready to take on the world. The precocious Wanderers' stirring Asian Champions League title triumph over Al-Hilal in Riyadh has earned them not only a place of honour in Australian sporting history and a $A2.16 million war chest but also entry to the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco next month. There Tony Popovic's men will meet Mexican champions Cruz Azul in a December 13 quarter-final for the right to take on the biggest club in world football, Real Madrid, in a semi-final. It's an achievement which defies comparison for a club did not exist three years ago and played its first A-League match less than 25 months ago. We were called a small club yesterday. Today we are the biggest in Asia," said a proud Popovic after his team became the first Australian club to claim the Asian crown by holding classy Al-Hilal to a 0-0 draw in an incident-packed second leg of the final. It is still a little surreal for me as a coach. I am just proud for these players and our club ... I think in the future we will really understand how special this run has been. The Wanderers' story has captivated the Australian sporting public and there's likely to be many more than the travelling Wanderers fans in Morocco than the 14 who overcame the kingdom's strict visa issues to witness history at King Fahd Stadium on Saturday night. "To go to Morocco, it's another little dream come true and we'll make sure the players really enjoy that experience," promised Popovic Our focus right now is actually to celebrate and enjoy. Our players deserve it and should enjoy it. When we get back, we'll have to regroup and focus in on the A-League. Their success guarantees fixture congestion, with a further two A-League matches due to be rescheduled to accommodate their travel. Of course, it may not have been, had referee Yuichi Nishimura awarded one or both of what appeared to be to cast-iron penalties against the Wanderers either side of halftime. But such has been evergreen Ante Covic's fine form in the Champions League, the goalkeeper would most probably have saved them anyway. The 39-year-old Covic was simply superb as the Wanderers' successfully defended their 1-0 advantage from the home first leg, denying everything Al-Hilal threw at him as they managed 25 shots on goal to just three by the visitors. His efforts included a decisive 85th minute reflex save to deny Yasser Al Qahtani from close range. Covic achieved all that despite having to deal with several lasers shone into his eyes face from the crowd, prompting him to speak the referee about it at halftime without obvious result. "This is the most amount of lasers I've ever caught in my face," said Covic. The veteran gloveman was named player of the tournament, having kept but six clean sheets from eight matches from the round of 16 on. "The title of Asian Champions for the Wanderers, that's the prize for me," he said. Al-Hilal's frustration appeared to spill over at fulltime when forward Nasser Al-Shamrani appeared to spit toward Wanderers defender Matthew Spiranovic. The result was especially sweet for Popovic's side, who were denied in their two A-League grand final appearances in their first two seasons. Any lingering disappointment from those defeats was flushed away by their triumph in Riyadh - and the promise of more to come this season.
