Australian coach Harry Kewell remains wary of the threat posed by Hernan Crespo’s Al-Ain side despite guiding his Yokohama F Marinos to a 2-1 first leg lead on home soil in the final of the Asian Champions League.
Marinos fought back in Saturday’s match after going behind to Mohammed Abbas’ 12th minute strike to secure victory through late goals from Asahi Uenaka and Kota Watanabe, making the Japanese slight favourites ahead of the second leg in the United Arab Emirates.
