Esperance lose to Al Sadd 2-1 at Club World Cup
Tunisia's Esperance lose to Qatari side Al-Sadd 2-1 on Sunday to advance to the semifinals of the Club World Cup in Japan where they will face Spanish giants Barcelona
Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 11 - 12 - 2011

The Qatari side took the lead against the run of play in Toyota when Khalfan Al-Khalfan headed home after a powerful run down the right from Kader Keita in the 33rd minute.
Three minutes into the second half, Doha-based Al-Sadd doubled their lead when captain Abdulla Koni swept home a Lee Jung-soo knockdown from point-blank range.
Esperance grabbed a lifeline on the hour mark when skipper Oussama Darragi's flicked headed crept in at the far post but he was furious to be substituted a little over 10 minutes later.
The Tunisians twice had goals ruled offside in a frantic final few minutes but ultimately paid for their wastefulness in front of goal.
Barcelona left for the Far East immediately after beating Real Madrid 3-1 in Saturday's ‘Clasico' to leapfrog their bitter rivals at the top of La Liga.
Barca take on Al-Sadd on 15 December in Yokohama with the final of the seven-team tournament at the same venue three days later.
Japan's Kashiwa Reysol were playing Mexican side Monterrey in the second quarter-final later on Sunday.
