Akram Afif scored a hat-trick of penalties as Qatar beat Jordan 3-1 within the Asian Cup last on Saturday at Lusail Stadium to win their second straight continental title.

After Afif had netted a first-half penalty, Yazan Al-Naimat equalised after the break. But Qatar gained two extra penalties within the second half after VAR checks, with high scorer Afif stepping as much as convert each and end the match with eight objectives.
