Intro:

Post match reaction following the AFC Cup final in Dubai on Saturday (October 18th), where Al-Qadsia of Kuwait needed penalties to beat Erbil SC of Iraq to win the title for the first time after twice being the losing finallists in 2010 and 2013.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Puche, Al-Qadsia coach:

"I am enjoying this moment with my people. This title is very important. I'm sure my players are happy."

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Saif Al Hasshan, Al-Qadisia forward:

"I can't describe my feelings today. I am very happy for the Qadsia fans and the Kuwait fans in general. It was a significant achievement for us, and it was the third time we played the final. We lost the last two and luckily we won this time. I'd like to thank the staff and the players and everyone."

SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel Spopobetch, Al-Qadisia:

"I can't describe it with words. It is very difficult to describe it because it is an amazing feeling because we could write history today for such a big club like Qadisia. We reached the final two times. Not me, but the club has been here before two times, they couldn't get the cup and today finally, thank God, we're going to take the cup to where it belongs, in Kuwait."
