Defending champion Qatar beat Jordan to win Asian title again
Akram Afif scored all the three goals for the Qatari team on penalty shootouts to become the top scorer of the competitions with 8 goals.
The Qatari striker struck in the first half of the final and then twice after the break at Lusail Stadium to finish as the tournament's leading scorer with eight goals.
Yazan Al Naimat had leveled the game in the second half, but Qatar was awarded two penalties on video review and Afif showed no nerves to convert on both occasions.
Qatar had stunned Japan in the 2019 final in the United Arab Emirates.
