Morocco's victory in the Arab Cup football tournament
The Moroccan national team scored a "goal across continents" and concluded a year full of successes across various age groups by winning the Arab Cup, following an exciting 3-2 victory over Jordan after extra time in the final on Thursday at Lusail Stadium, amid rainy and stormy weather in Doha.
Morocco's goals were scored by Oussama Tannane with a shot from about sixty meters early in the match (4'), and substitute Abderrazak Hamdallah (88', 100'), while Jordan's goals came from Ali Alwan (48' and 68' from a penalty).
This is Morocco's second title after 2012, while Jordan failed to secure their first title in their first final appearance.
