Morocco captured the FIFA Arab Cup title in spectacular fashion, defeating Jordan 3–2 after extra time in a final that had everything: a wonder goal, a comeback, VAR drama, and a late winner.
A Final That Started With a Bang
Morocco struck first thanks to an outrageous long‑range goal from Oussama Tannane, who scored from inside his own half — a strike widely described as a Puskás‑worthy moment.
Jordan’s Fightback
Jordan refused to fold. Ali Olwan headed in the equalizer early in the second half and later converted a penalty to give Jordan a 2–1 lead. For a moment, it looked like the Nashama were on the verge of their first Arab Cup title.
Late Drama
With just minutes left in regulation, Abderrazzaq Hamed‑Allah leveled the match for Morocco, forcing extra time. Jordan thought they had regained the lead in overtime, but VAR ruled out Mohannad Abu Taha’s goal, adding yet another twist to the night.
The Decisive Moment
Hamed‑Allah delivered again in extra time, scoring the winning goal that sealed Morocco’s 3–2 triumph and their second Arab Cup crown.
