>> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the newshour, i'm in doha, coming up, 27 iraqi soldiers killed in ramadi as the u.s. says it's ready to retake the city from i.s.i.l. the afghan government investigates how taliban fighters were able to stage a scene at an airport leaving dozens of people dead with one more day of the talks in paris scheduled, negotiators try to nail down an agreement to combat climate

change. >> and i'll have your sport, including it's 16 years and counting as arsenal reach the knockout phase of the champion's league. i'll let you know who is joining them later in the programme at least 27 iraqi soldiers have been killed fighting against i.s.i.l. in ramadi. now, iraqi forces have been trying to push i.s.i.l. from that city, which lays about 120km from baghdad. now, ramadi was captured by the armed group in may, in what was scene as an embarrassing defeat. iraqi forces managed to claw back some territory and says it now controls more than half the city, including a key military command center. the u.s. says progress in that offensive has been frustratingly slow. it's offering to send personnel and equipment to help win the

war in libya. this is the latest effort to ramp up u.s. military pressure against i.s.i.l. this month the u.s. announced 100 extra special operations troops sent to iraq to conduct raids, gather intelligence and capture i.s.i.l. leaders as well. let's now cross to imran khan, who is in erbil for us in northern iraq. imran, if you could, briefly, explain to us what has been the main obstacle for the iraqi forces in terms of retaking ramadi? >> well, they promised, abd-rabbu mansour hadi, that they would be clear of fighters. it began over the summer, it's been beset by the delays, what are they. one is the weather, it's too hot. prime minister haider al-abadi

said the troops couldn't fight. there was arguments over who would control ramadi after it was taken by iraqi security forces. was it going to be the iraqi security forces, the popular mobilization forces, the mainly shia militias, the sunni militias themselves. there was a lot of politics, a few practical delays. what happened now is an agreement has been made. the iraqi security forces have gone in. the iraqi army and the counterterrorism forces went in and took key territory. >> what is going on now is the battle that we see when i.s.i.l. is on the back foot, they wait until iraqi security forces get in. then they start shelling. they hope the iraqi security forces will suffer a significant defeat and pull back, and they'll come into the city again, and that's when we see the gorilla warfare in sinjar

and other places. the type of fight that the iraqi security forces face and when going into the center of ramadi we have seen before. this is a fight led by the iraqi security forces. it's interesting now the u.s. is offering military advisors, that is if prime minister mohammed badr wants it, i'm blessing he will take up the offer. >> well, he's been asking for this since i.s.i.l. took over. he's been saying to the americans we need help, intelligence gathering, training, heavy weaponry, and promise of supplies of the f-16 aircraft that we can use against i.s.i.l. fighters. those pleas have not fallen on deaf ears. the americans have been slow responding. it's likely that this is towards a domestic audience, particularly when you look at

the russian involvement in syria and here. the joint commanders, the russians and the syrians set up against their fight against i.s.i.l., is a reason the americans are looking to ramp up their pressure. there's a lot of regional considerations. it was concerning to the americans, and the russians, like i say, saudi arabians, all the regional players that are getting involved. prime minister haider al-abadi has to manage the relationships between partners that don't agree with each other on the way forward. what a lot of iraqis are privately telling us is they wish everyone would be on the same page when it came to fighting i.s.i.l. it may not happen. people are falling into different camps. you have the shia led government. relying on the iranians for their support. you have the sunni groups that

are relying on places like turkey for their support and you'll see there's a lot of competing interests. ash carter's comments come at a time when iraqis try to manage this. it is a bit surprising for people. everyone here that i spoke to, government officials and nongovernment officials say they have been asking for this, and don't understand why if prime minister haider al-abadi asks now. >> imran khan there on the complexities of battling i.s.i.l. in iraq gulf leaders called for an international meeting to discuss rebuilding yemen once a peace deal is reached. a government deal in saudi has been focussing on conflicts in the region, the g.c.c. vowed to works together to find a political solution to the war in syria, the summit has been held at the same time as talks between syria's armed and

political opposition. the summit expressed keenness to sort out the problem in syria. the international community has a joint responsibility to face terrorism and extremism and to eradicate both of them. the summit will continue efforts in cooperation in this regard. the summit stresses extremism has no religion, and islam is the religion of tolerance. >> let's get more on the issue. they covered syria extensively. i want to focus on syria. that is what the rest of the world focus on. i.s.i.l. is coming from, we have the two meetings in riyadh, the syrian opposition meeting in riyadh. trying to come to a consensus in the approach with how to deal

with syria. do you think they'll come to a consensus. >> we have serious, comprehensive meeting for the first time. between the syrian opposition parties. we have seen some of the groups attacked in the past, not included. people like saudi arabia have not been willing, considering their stance towards the group as islamist extremists. we have seen an ease of that stance. these groups have joined, and now, i understand that 15 groups among the syrian opposition are going to go to those talks with the other side, the bashar al-assad regime, if they happen, and when they happen. that's a great step to towards unifying the act among the syrian group, and the fact that they have material at the same time as the g.c.c. leaders are

meeting and making their stance clear, that they don't want bashar al-assad in a compromise or peace deal that will be signed. that's clear on their part. >> on their part. >> i want to take you up on that particular issue. we see the west focused in syria shifting towards battling i.s.i.l. we have the g.c.c. leaders that want bashar al-assad out of syria. there is no middle ground here, is there? >> yes, there is no - there is no middle ground when we talk about the g.c.c. leaders on the one hand, and the west on the other hand. the good new assist that there's more middle ground between the syrian opposition groups and g.c.c. leaders and g.c.c. leaders and the groups. that's - i think that's a positive development. when you are talking to the

western side and bashar al-assad, you need reunificat n reunification, and that has been missing. and we can only understand or expect that once the gulf leaders and rebel groups, once they are more unified. they'll have a stroker say. >> are you getting a feeling that they are trying to bring them over to their side, saying john kerry said there are plans to have the next syrian police caution. that's a short deadline for the meetings in riyadh. >> let's talk about the agendas. for the meeting or deadline to succeed they need the g.c.c. leaders on board. they have to look at the address, the problem of the priorities as said yesterday, the u.s. secretary of defense, ash carter said the sunni

countries need to do more. we have two sets of priorities, gulf leaders would like to see more western favourable response with regards to some of their demands, including iran and bashar al-assad. we have seen it in the final statement. communique. they said no bashar al-assad, and also no iran intervention any more. these points in the eyes of the gulf leaders have do be addressed by the western side in order for the gulf countries to do more. >> the g.c.c. leaders disucts the issue of yemen. >> we know they are not quite united. they are in that war. they are part of the war in yemen, but they are not as ennoose yastic as the qataris or the saudis, and they have been

accused of being lukewarm or egive call. we have them who are not part of the coalition. i know they have been discussing this behind the scenes, it's discussed. it's a problem there. they have to address it before they say that they are really up united. from the final communique. there are concerns. there should be a conference to rebuild yemen. that is one thing they agree on, all of them. >> there's so much more to talk about. speaking to us, thank you. >> now, as we heard, the war in yemen was among the topics by the g.c.c. leaders. the houthis rebels said it will take control of the an island off the control of yemen.

houthi fighters drove to the sea. they have come to the straight, a major route between europe and the gulf and asia. now, the number of people killed in a taliban attack in southern afghanistan has risen to more than 70. a gun battle at kandahar lasted 24 hours. 14 attackers were killed in the siege. hostages also died. the attack coincided with a conference. afghanistan's foreign minister called for a resumption of peace talks. let's go to kabul. are the authorities any closer to understanding how the taliban was able to gain access to a high security site? >> no, they decided to launch an investigation, as the kandahar airfield, the largest in the base, home to 2,000 n.a.t.o.

forces is a secure airfield, a number of checkpoints to get in. if you take a commercial flight tighter on the military side. they are looking into how those attackers got in, but with so many weapons, that fighting went on for 24 hours tuesday night into wednesday. among the 70 dead are women and children. because the area where the taliban are fighting is home to families of military officers and retired military officers, and to give you an idea of how close the taliban got, the body guard of the afghan core commander is one of those killed. it was fierce fighting that went on. there was a hostage situation at one point. the - we are seeing the afghan army sleying the weapons. >> as questions are arrived of security force, the government is trying to reflect whether the

attack is showing that the taliban is going strength or the afghan forces weakness. >> i think those are going to be the questions asked, and may be a little bit of both. we have seen a resurgent taliban in september. the forces took over kunduz city, holding it for two weeks, it's the first urban center they have taken control of. this attack on kandahar, very coordinated, got close to senior officers there. and it was so coordinated and could get into a secure facility is going to have people wondering, the afghan security battling the taliban, recently over the last 24 hours or so took a district in helmand province, controlling more territory than they have since given from power in 2001.

very much struggling to decide how to handle these kind of attacks, and the taliban presence in the countryside and villages. >> jennifer, thank you for that. that's jennifer glasse live for us in kaboom, talking about the a -- kaboom talking about the attacks on kandahar airport. still to come, a world first new vaccine against dengue fever is approved in mexico. also ahead. argentinian president says farewell to followers, and a spat means she will not attend the inauguration ceremony. >> in sport. james harden helps the houston rockets to victory in the n.b.a. strong winds helped to clear the air in beijing, and a red smog alert has been lifted in

the chinese capital. schools reopened and limits eased after the highest level smog alert was imposed on tuesday. to you india, where the capital sl suffering from a problem with air pollution. the culprit is commercial vehicles and trucks hit with a pollution tax last month. we have more. >> reporter: the delhi government introduced a pollution tax, entering the capital region, they were trying to kerb pollution, but it seems that is not enough, as of january 1st. half of the cars will not be on the road. on every alternate day, odd and even cards will be allowed to run in new delhi. it's a controversial programme, a trial of 13 days, not just in terms of the politics and

economics, but socially in terms of the infrastructure, the big debate here and across india is does a city like new dehli have the capacity to deal with a programme like this. does it have the public transport infrastructure to support millions of people that need to get to work and get about their lives. does it help the policing capacity. can the police enforce such a contentious law. the chief minister of delhi says if too many people are inconvenienced we'll find a way to deal with pollution. the supreme court of india on thursday said the fact that there's no distinct laid out plan or policy suggests that the government of this state is unable to deal with this crisis we are now going to riyadh, where the g.c.c. summit is currently taking place. we are now listening in to the

conference. >>..and to achieve the hope of the citizens towards more cooperation among the member state. our leaders, as usual had cordial meetings, and had fruitful meetings, a result of way will be reflected god willing on the g.c.c. the leaders expressed gratitude to the works and preparations and also expressed their optimism, the g.c.c. cooperation council, and also have welcomed the vision of the two holy mosques, regarding those things that joined part of the gulf

cooperation. the leaders created the principles and the ideas of the vision, and they have the secretary-general to implement the vision. the leaders have issued a lot of digs decisions in order to boost and support the cooperation among the member states, including the unified law for protecting the consumers within the g.c.c. council as burning resolutions and they endorsed the executive procedures for treating the citizens, on the equal footage in each, and every country of the member state. the supreme council endorsed a report submitted by the

secretary-general regarding the steps to be taken regarding the market, the water system, the water strategy, the gulf system for implementing rules, for protecting the environment, and railway between the g.c.c. members in this regard. the custodian to the mosque ordered the declaration of implementing the king hammond bridge between the kingdom of saudi arabia and the kingdom of bahrain as part of the transportation system among the g.c.c. countries, also regarding the association leaders have talked about the american gulf cooperation held in may in camp david and asked the council and

the team works to follow up the missitions entitled to them within these connections, and they decided to face the media campaign of islam, and face the discrimination language among the muslims and non-muslims, and have arrived the council to double its efforts in order to tell the world how islam is a region of tolerance, and peace and also the moderate approach of the council. the leaders stressed doubling efforts for the economic benefits to the g.c.c. citizens, and also supported the efforts of boosting the relations between the private sector within the member states.

and the mention of the 37th session in next december in the doing dom -- kingdom of bahrain. it will be distributed to all of you, and if you allow me, we can start you. questions. a question from the middle east. your excellency, the question is not quite clear, i can't hear the question, but what about the relations of the council with iran and russia, what principles do you mean, do you mean the

meeting in riyadh with the serial opposition. yes, is this considered to be the beginning of a political solution guaranteeing the intervention of iran and russia in the syrian crisis. my question to the secretary-general what is the difference between the leaders of the g.c.c., decisions regarding the reconstruction in yemen. what is the agenda. we need some of them, please, and thank you regarding your question, i think the opposition - syrian opposition aims at unifying the sirian opposition, strengthening their position when it comes to any negotiations and talks for a political solution, based on the geneva 1. and that might lead to the establishment of an authority, a

temporary authority that will pave the way for a new constitution, and for a new future in syria, with no place at all for bashar al-assad. the conference aims at unifying all factions to have a position declared and announced to the world these are the as, these are the ceilings, and these will be having a stronger position, i hope. this conference will lead to the withdrawal of all foreign forces in syria. this is not really the aim, it is quite difficult. the principles and the situations expected to be declared in riyadh by the syrian opposition are not binding because they don't have any support in the bag to help and boost them. but we need to consolidate the

position of the opposition. and we need to cancel any claim anywhere in the world. where that says there is no unified opposition, and there is no clear syrian vision regarding the future of syria. the future of saudi arabia, as i say is quite keen to support the syrian opposition, and we hope that the syrian opposition will get to a result, and will get a unified vigil order to force the world to move for reaching a peaceful solution. our brothers, as i said before, bashar al-assad has two options. to leave the screen through talks and negotiations, or to leave the scene by force, because the syrian people

rejected bashar al-assad, and the regime in syria. the syrian people is quite keen to establish its new civil state that will keep the riots of all the brothers, regardless their origins and their sect. this is what we hoped for, to be done regarding syria, god willing. >> now, you are too greedy, you ask two questions without giving room for your colleagues. let me say, regarding the relations between the g.c.c., cancel and the brotherly country of yemen, we respect yemen and before september 2011, the crisis started in 2011, the g.c.c. council was interested in

yemen. and the yemeni people has historic relations. they are always supported and rehabilitate and trying to create problems for yemen to be indulged within the economy. this is a decision adopted by the leaders of the g.c.c., starting from 2011 until now, we are keen to reach a political solution in yemen. we are keen on that. and when a civil war is there, when problems are there, then we need to use force according to a request by the legitimate president in yemen. but, would it go back to the political solution as soon as possible, and reconstruction of yemen as soon as possible.

we have to be ready since the day one after achieving peace, and applying the resolution 22.16, the national dialogue, and the relations between g.c.c. and yemen are strong. the call now is aiming at having a conference to restriction of yemen within the vision of the custodian of the two holy mosques, and this is a sign and the vigil has been adopted. and by the leaders, because we have to help our brothers in yemen, and urge that the national community reconstruct yemen and achieve the main political solution. and welfare of the yemeni people. thank you a question from the qatar tv

to the secretary-general. what is the viewpoints of the g.c.c. regarding the media attacks for - regarding the qatari people hosting the world cup 2022? what is the g.c.c. few regarding the file of 2022. >> matter of fact i'd like to thank you for your questions. the g.c.c. countries are supporting qatar in hosting the world cup 2022 to be held in qatar and most of our statements. we were supporting and we are supporting - will we support qatar to host that big event. coordination is there, and

everyone knows what has been achieved by the state of qatar, and how transparent will be the behaviour of qatar to host the world cup. we are all proud of that. gcc countries support that. >> if you joined us, you are watching al jazeera. and we are covering the summit of the six nation gulf corporation council meeting. a meeting focussing on security. social challenges facing the countries, we have come out there from the press conference, where we saw the g.c.c. secretary-general. as well as the saudi arabian minister there, heading a press conference. betts get more insight into the

summit and what actually happened there. we are joined by an analyst at the doha institute. thank you for being with us. as we heard, the foreign minister reiterating that the main point of this summit was to try to unify the gulf countries when it comes to an approach to the conflict in syria. there has been quite a lot of differences in terms of many of the gulf countries have had to compromise on their view in this. >> this summit is important. this is the first summit that all the g.c.c. countries are involved, directly. saudi arabia led the arab coalition into yemen last march, and the war there is ongoing.

so i think th so i think that g.c.c. countries are facing two threats. the first one is iran and the attempt to expand. you have iran on the one hand, and i.s.i.l. on the other. they are acting on the same area of conflict. and the three are struggling in order to contain both of them in these three major areas. trr differences, as you said, between -- there are differences, as you said, between them. they have been cautious, concerning process islamist. we know saudi arabia changed their position concerning the muslim brotherhood, because it came to recognise iran as the major threat to security and

islamists. and in the spire region. this is a difference here between saudi arabia and emirates. there is another difference concerning islamists. imam distinguished themselves from the rest of the g.c.c. countries, by taking a moderate position, taking raids between iran and other countries, and not forgetting oman was the place between where secrets took place without the knowledge of other g.c.c. countries, there are differences securing these areas of security threats. iran and islamists on the other among the differences, the g.c.c., they act as a brotherhood. they are united in that way. some had to make this

compromise. as you said, when it comes to syria and yemen, in terms of the security threat that is facing this region. who has had to make the most compromise do you think? >> the g.c.c. countries managed over the last 25 years. since the establishment of the g.c.c. - in 1981, to remain as one unit in this very turbulent region, but that, as i said, did not prevent them having their own differences, but the differences did not lated to the break-up of unity between them. all of them have interests in maintaining the country and try actually to - try to go for compromises that lead, in fact, into preserving and maintaining

the unity of this group of nations. but i think they have to work carefully into that, because, as i said, oman insists that it won't actually go with the other g.c.c. countries in their position concerning iran while the emirates as we know is careful about how to - how to deal with the islamic groups. as i said before. emirates is taking the position that all islamists are the same. no moderates, no extremists. i leave with them as such. this is the position of saudi arabia and qatar. and pragmatic seasons. we can't deal with them. this is the major actor on the ground in syria. yemen as well. the party in one organization is becoming a major ally in the world against houthis.

it's a bit complicated. the main interest is to keep the unity and maintained themselves before. before the outside world as one council. >> as one unit. >> exactly as one unified yuan. >> one thing that is interesting is saudi arabia's foreign ministry reiterated that the meeting in riyadh in terms of the syrian opposition, armed and political groups was to unify them into one strategy. he repeated something that saudi arabia said many times, that there would not be a role in the future. this goes against the saudi arabian allies, the u.s., where they say the importance is let's focus on i.s.i.l., it's not focused on president bashar al-assad. how do you think saudi arabia

and its ally came together. >> here they have to make a come promise. >> we see that in the declaration. in which they came up with a roadmap. at some point theically say let's start the political process. right now. let's have the ceasefire implemented and we'll talk about how to have the transitional period, and talk about the future of bashar al-assad. or at some appointment in the future. this is the way to go around that. of the diff question is how to prevent the syrian opposition to having a meeting in the yard, they'll not talk about the future of the early stages of the period. they may talk about this later on. this is something they have to come up with something to

convince the syrian opposition. >> the deadline is coming out. the analyst at the doha institute... >> you, moving on, french investigators say a digital clue helped them to identify enough suspect from the paris attacks. five of the seven attackers who killed 130 people have been identified. we have more foued mohamed-aggad was a french national who travelled to syria to fight with i.s.i.l. but became a mass murderer at home in one of france's violent attacks. his father said he would have killed him if he'd known. >> i didn't know she came back, of course i'm surprised. >> i have killed him in i knew

what he'd do. >> reporter: he was identified by d.n.a. shared by police with his mother. she is reported to have received a text message from his wife saying "your son died a martyr with his brothers on november 13th", foued mohamed-aggad's former neighbour never guessed head be involved in such violence. >> the guy always hello, was always respectful. i know him. i don't know what to tell you, i'm shocked. >> foued mohamed-aggad left for syria in 2013 with a group of up to 12 from the same area. six came back in 2014 and were arrested, including his brother. >> he was in touch with ace brother and mother, and told them number the last exchanges they wouldn't come back to france and would go to iraq.

>> it's not clear how he got into france without being detected. he was part of the group who killed most of the 120 people who decided on november 13th let's go back to the top story, and the fighting in ramadi. the city is strategically and symbolically important. it's the capital of anbar province, and home to 200,000 people. it sits on the euphrates river at a highway linking baghdad to the jordanian borders. it's 120km from the iraqi capital. further down is the haditha dam. there are fears that i.s.i.l. could try to take the dam from its vantage pointed in ramadi. they generate power not just for anbar, but other parts of iraq. joining he, a professor of

political science and a senior professor. thank you for being with us. if you could, explain to us what has been the main obstacle for the iraqi forces in terms of retaking ramadi from i.s.i.l. well, there are many obstacling. first, the government did not have well trained army or armed forces to engage contact. there are many strategic points in the hands of i.s.i.l. fallujah and haditha as an example. but in the few months prayer to this offensive, the iraqi forces, the iraqi armed forces, with the help of the american

advisors between the iraqis and the aerial support of the coalition forces managed to take some part, and strategic part of ramadi city. around ramadi city. today they have engaged in a battle on the security of ramadi itself. >> the u.s. is offering military help to fight i.s.i.l., particularly in ramadi. the prime minister had been asking for help from its allies. why do you think washington finally relented to the request? >> well, there are two reasons. the first is the american forces in iraq, in bashar al-assad base and the other air base: and all around threatened by i.s.i.l., and the americans

wanted to saw it removed from the city. the strategic one and overlooking the main bases. the second is since the russians involved themselves heavily in syria, and about to involve themselves in iraq according or we were asking for a request from the iraqi government. the united states refused touch a thing, and they wanted to tell the iraqis we are better qualified than the russians. >> it's a senior fellow on the london school of economics. not to do with the 1 million asylum seeker of the year many of the recent arrivals who were escaping the war in syria, 200,000 asylum seekers

were registered in november alone. and its german chancellor the leadership on the issue, earning her the title of person of the year. she was praised for her management of the e.u. debt crisis. more from dominic kane. tell us what has been the reaction in germany to merkel's standing. it's an interesting reaction. supporters of angela merkel say it's a fitting matter. given the leadership provided to germany. they say the role played in resolving the don't crisis. and they say also the

humanitarian policy is something that needs to be agreed with. there are people that agreed with that. the policy of openness is perhaps posing a problem for german authority. some on social media said it's not easy to win the person of the year. all you have to do is open the borders, allowing people to flood in. it's a minority view in germany. alluding to a skepticism. growing skepticism about the policies that angela merkel has been pursuing. and let's remember that she's within many elections as chancellor. >> she was opened the door to all the refugees, a lot of people applauded her for that. what is the reaction at home. has there within are been a push

back. this week german officials confirmed the might are not. there was a suggestion that 1.5 million, that we would commonly recognised. on the basis of those estimates, to hit a million halfway through december. there is a growing feeling of uncertainty as to whether this policy is the way forward. there would appear to be walking around the streets. in april and july of this year, and in the previous months of the spring and the summer. theredidn't appear to be many. now there are more, and that

might explain why there is a sense of unease growing from a minority position inside germany? >> dominik kane speaking to us from berlin. the international community is pushing for a push in syria. a power-sharing deal between the two government rivals fell through on sunday. the u.n. is meeting both sides ahead of a conference in rome. let's go life in tunis. they are effort to resolve the crisis, how different are the next round of talks in rome. >> i think the talks here are different. there is unprecedent amount of pressure on both parties to come

to an agreement. the the violence and conflict leads you to the growth of affiliates. around 3,000 fighters managed to take the port town of cert. and also the problem is here in tunis. the problem was released between the two parties. it doesn't reflect the realities in libya. there are many factions coming into the agreement. the u.n. is saying that the brokered deal is the one put forward, is the only way forward. the problem is the different warring factions from tripoli and in eastern tobruk is saying that the u.n. - this is an example of meddling in libya. the u.n. lost favour with the

libyans, because the former envoy has been af accused of taking the side of the east and taking a job with the u.a.e. still to come - all the sports news. why this basketball player is the toast of the high school team. >>

time for the sport with raul. arsenal manager. pass described the striker as perfect after his. in the knock out-station of the champion's league. the london side created a 2 goal margin. the hat-trick earning arsenal a 3-0 win in athens and second place in group f. >> i think it is a fantastic achievement for us, because when you look at the loss in the last three weeks. we lost sanchez, and we came. we were already there. not many people give us a chance. we are a ream time. in the dressing room. and this is close. we can see that today.

we'll be hoping to be drawn against his site in the last 16. >> achieving the result. a rare site. they have lost four times this season. >> everyone wants to play. i think every second, every second team wants to play. they don't want to play atletico and finishes second. >> bayern leverkusen. gar what does it mean. in group g, e, in barcelona already securing top spot:

through the expense of olympiakos, taking part in. clinched the qualifies spot. >> the first team for belgium to qualify. in the champion's league out of all the teams. >> we knew it was ahead of us. we weren't prepared for the fact that they would adapt to the belgium way. you can see even international teams make adaptions. that didn't started that quite

well. >> it was the first team. winning the copa americana. beating argentinian side. after the second leg of the box. high altitude of bogota. the first match. it ended goalless. and neither sides can get a goal. in extra time the argentinians had the leading scorer sent off for punching. the striker unhappy at the referee's decision. penalty shoot out was needed. santa fe's third spot kick scored. they admitted the first two. when they hit the bar. it handed santa fe a 3-1
