Montpellier winger Tamari showed a brilliant performance in the semi-final but lacked decisive final actions as Qatar began to adapt and waste time. However, in the 67th minute, Yazan Al-Naimat's cross from the far post allowed Jordan to equalize.The 87th-ranked team in the world was about to cause another major upset, but inevitably, Afif emerged as the victor of the match.This time, VAR was called upon to review a Qatari forward brought down by Mahmoud Al-Mardhi's reckless challenge, immediately granting the home team a chance to reclaim the lead, which Afif calmly seized.In the 13th minute of stoppage time, a quick through ball caught Jordan's defense napping, prompting a pause in the game, and Yajid Abularla was adjudged to have fouled Afif in a one-on-one situation during the second VAR review.
