Scotland’s Alan Clyne lost out in a thrilling five game match to New Zealander Kashif Shuja in the final of the VX-Power Spanish Open, the $8,000 Super Satellite event at Centro Insular de Squash de Tenerife in Santa Cruz, Tenerife.

The Pakistan-born top seed reached the final without dropping a game - but the 30-year-old was put under pressure by Clyne, who managed to lead by two games and by 6-2 in the fourth. 

But Shuja, a PSA Tour veteran since 1995, called upon all his experience to fight back to win the fourth - and then claimed the decider to record an impressive 11-7, 6-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-8 title victory in 85 minutes.

The triumph marked the eighth Tour title of Shuja's career, but his first since November 2007.
