(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Algerian club ES Setif beat Sydney's Wanderers in a long penalty shoot-out Wednesday to get fifth place in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The 90 minutes of regular play in Marrakech ended 2-2.
Dutch winger Romeo Castelen had opened the score for the Australian side just five minutes into the game, but an own goal from Daniel Mullen and a goal from Abdelmalik Ziaya in the second half appeared to give Setif the consolation prize.
However, Brazilian Vitor Saba's late free-kick was enough to send the match to the penalty shoot-out.
Each side needed to take an unusual eight shots after they each missed two of their initial five efforts, and the Algerian side prevailed 5-4.
