The Asian Cup final was held as scheduled, with the local tyrant Qatar playing against the big dark horse Jordan, and the Chinese referee Ma Ning was in charge. A different taste of the Asian Cup, directly to a penalty hat-trick. The host of the local tyrant, Qatar, defeated the big dark horse Jordan 3:1, won the Asian Cup for two consecutive years, and was proud of the top of Asian football.
Originally, the strength of the host Qatar in this game was regarded as a line higher, and it steadily pressed Jordan. In addition, Jordan has been upset all the way, and its luck has been almost exhausted. Finally, this time I fell under the "torture" of penalty kicks, and one loss was three penalties, which is unimaginable.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Qatari star player Afif burst forward with the ball and was knocked down by Jordanian players in the penalty area. Then continued to fight until the 69th minute and in stoppage time near the end, Manin awarded two consecutive penalties and directly sent Qatar to the championship again with a penalty hat-trick.
It's not that Qatar isn't doing well enough. It's not that so many penalties shouldn't be awarded. I just feel that such an important final was stifled by three understated penalties, which is inevitably a bit difficult for Jordan, the big dark horse. Ma Ning, as the referee, is still accurate in his judgment. It can be regarded as a successful completion of the law enforcement task of this Asian Cup final. I just don't know if it's uncomfortable to be killed by three penalties?
Anyway, the Asian Cup is finally over. This Asian Cup can be called a relatively high-level competition in the previous Asian Cups. The level of football in Asia is improving at a rate that can be seen with the naked eye. The only thing that lags behind is the national football team, when will it be able to reach the World Cup final again?
