Qatar became the first back-to-back champions of the AFC Asian Cup when it used three Akraf Afif penalties to beat Cinderella story Jordan in Doha on Saturday.
The 18th edition of the AFC Asian Cup featured a title defense at Lusail Stadium in Doha, as FIFA #87 Jordan could only manage a Yazan Al-Naimat goal while conceding not one, not two, but three penalties to the hosts in the second biggest match to hit the venue, which saw Lionel Messi and Argentina defeat France for the 2022 World Cup Final.
