Almoez Ali made history as Qatar triumphed against Japan to claim their first Asian Cup title with a 3-1 final win on Friday.
Tournament top-scorer Ali took his tally to a record-breaking nine goals with a sublime overhead kick before Abdelaziz Hatim then curled in a brilliant second before half-time.
Japan dominated possession after the break yet took their time to forge a response, with Qatar - who had kept six clean sheets en route to the final - finally conceding when Takumi Minamino scored in the 69th minute.
Felix Sanchez's men would not be denied, though, and Akram Hassan Afif punished Maya Yoshida's handball with a coolly taken penalty to clinch the 2022 World Cup hosts' maiden triumph.
