"The Asian Cup quarter-final that Asia didn't know it needed, between two teams dreaming of a first-ever last-four spot. Tajikistan, making just their second appearance at the finals, went wild after beating United Arab Emirates in a penalty shootout on Sunday. There was added emotion given that 33-year-old star striker Manuchekhr Dzhalilov, who was diagnosed with cancer last summer, was watching from the stands.\r\n\"He is the top scorer in Tajikistan history and our best striker, so of course we missed him,\" said the team's German coach Petar Segrt. \r\n\"But for him it is not a discussion of playing or not, it is a story of life and death. He is with us here, we are happy to have him and that is a good motivation for us."
