2022 World Cup Hosts Qatar have won the 2019 Asian Cup after a 3-1 win against Japan on Friday.

Forward Almoez Ali broke the record of goals scored by a player at a single Asian Cup when he notched his ninth with a brilliant overhead kick.

Abdulaziz Hatem made it 2-0 with a 20-yard curled shot before Japan's Takumi Minamino fired in from inside the box.

It was 3-1 when Akram Afif converted from the spot after Southampton's Maya Yoshida had handled in the area.

VAR confirmed that the Saints defender had intentionally handled, although TV replays suggested he was unfortunate to see the decision go against him.

Afif's penalty meant he scored one goal and provided 10 assists, including two in the final, during Qatar's seven games at the competition in the United Arab Emirates.

Coach Felix Sanchez Bas' side had gone 10 hours and eight minutes without conceding a single goal at this year's competition prior to Minamino's strike.

sorry bro stop that a long time ago

This is an exact case of "He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies".
Can you imagine that in the course of this tournament,all of the middle eastern countries were against these guys.
Everything was done to bring this team down and shame them.Their fans were not allowed to come cheer them,occssionally they were stoned by opposing fans,they were verbally harassed and abused and all manner of ugly things were done to them.
Yet they never lost hope,never had their morales low and never even lost a single match.Wow!
They went on to win the tournament unbeaten despite having their entire region against them.

Lesson: Never loose hope even if the whole world is against you,just be determined and you will make it!
