Qatar and Ivory Coast won their home finals of the Asian and African Football Cups. The burgundy ones prevailed over the main opening of the tournament - Jordan.

All three goals were scored from the penalty spot, and Akram Afif was the first in history to score a hat-trick in a decisive match on his continent. Simon Adingra made two effective passes into the penalty area, and Sebastien Allaire, who had recovered from cancer, scored a “golden” goal in the 81st minute.
