The FIFA Arab Cup came to an end on Saturday evening.

Algeria has been declared the winner of the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 after a striking performance against Tunisia on Saturday.

The Algerians won 2-0 after a last minute goal in extra time, securing the title for the first ever FIFA Arab Cup in the Gulf state.

Amir Sayoud scored the first goal of the match in the the ninth minute of extra-time, with the second coming from Yacine Brahimi in front of some 60,000 fans at the Al-Bayt stadium.
