DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Abderrazzaq Hamed Allah scored twice to lead Morocco to the Arab Cup title in a 3-2 win over Jordan after extra time on Thursday.

Hamed Allah netted the equalizer in the 88th minute at Lusail Stadium and then the winner in the 100th to give Morocco a trophy ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Oussama Tannane had put Morocco ahead with a remarkable strike from behind the center line less than four minutes into the final.

Ali Olwan’s header in the 48th leveled the game at 1-1, and his penalty put Jordan ahead in the 68th.
