The 2021 FIFA Arab Cup Final was a football match which determined the winners of the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup. The match was held at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar on 18 December 2021[1] and was contested by Tunisia and Algeria, the winners of the semi-finals.[2]

Background

[edit]

Both Tunisia and Algeria marked their third appearance in the Arab Cup: Tunisia won the first edition in 1963, while Algeria had never won the competition. This is both countries' first-ever Arab Cup final, as the 1963 edition won by Tunisia was played in a group format. Prior to the final, Algeria led in head-to-head games, having won 16 times to Tunisia's 15; the two sides drew 13 times. Tunisia was undefeated to Algeria in competitive matches since 1987.[3]

Summary

[edit]

The game went to extra-time and nine minutes into the first-half, Algeria's Amir Sayoud scored with a long range left footed shot into the left corner of the net.[4] As Tunisia desperately tried to level the match deep into added on time, the ball broke from a Tunisia corner and reached Yacine Brahimi who ran into the penalty area before shooting into the empty net from six yards out to put Algeria 2-0 up.[5]
