Qatar has won the bid to stage the 2022 football World Cup and the Asian Cup.Lee slammed home a left-foot volley in the 109th when he was left completely unmarked 10 metres (yards) from Australia's goal. Lee had all the time in the world to perfectly time his volley from a cross by defender Yuto Nagatoma and fire it past Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. Lee then ran to the centre circle and fired a symbolic arrow into the night sky over the Khalifa stadium as a row of small fireworks exploded across the structure arch to celebrate the goal. Japan midfielder Keisuka Honda, one of the most enterprising players in the final, was voted the tournament's most valuable player. Australia was in its first final since switching from Oceania to Asia in 2006 and also lost to Japan in the quarterfinals on penalties four years ago.
