The Asian Cup is over. Qatar triumphed in the strongest Asian national team tournament, defeating Jordan 3:1 in the final.

In the 22nd minute, Akram Afif converted a penalty kick, and after the goal, he showed a card trick that received a lot of attention on social media.

In the 67th minute, Yazan Al-Naimat equalized in the final.

However, Jordan's footballers lacked discipline once again. In the 73rd minute, A. Afif got the chance to score another penalty kick. He did so successfully, and it didn't end there. In extra time, the striker completed his penalty "hat-trick."

Qatar won the Asian Cup for the second time in a row. They were the strongest 4 years ago as well. This time the triumph is a bit sweeter since the tournament took place in Qatar.
