Bogor: Saudi Arabia claimed the AFC U-19 Championship Indonesia 2018 title on Sunday thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Korea Republic.
A scintillating first half display, with the talismanic Turki Al Ammar to the fore, proved the difference at Bogor’s Pakansari Stadium, as the Saudis sealed their third title success at this level, and their first since 1992.
Both sides, along with beaten semi-finalists Qatar and Japan, will now go on to represent the Asian Football Confederation at next year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.
