Qatar star scores penalty in Asian Cup final before performing magic trick

QATAR created magic in the Asia Cup final against Jordan.

The Gulf state, which previously won the Asia Cup in 2019, took the lead 1-0 thanks to a first-half penalty converted by Akram Afif.

The 27-year-old fired his penalty into the bottom left corner before driving away in celebration.

But unlike the usual celebration of celebrating with teammates, Afif chose to bring out his inner Dynamo.

Afif bent down to take a card out of his socks, before walking towards the camera with a card in his right hand.

He then shuffled the card twice before quickly moving it to the right and back to the same position.

And during the motion, the card switched from a photo on it to an S written in black text on a white background.

During this new celebration, Afif was called the “imposter” by the co-commentator.

And fans loved the trick too.

One fan commented on social media: “That was so cool hahahaha one of the best celebrations I've seen in a long time.”

A second said: “Everything about that party is magical and hilarious. The best party ever 😄.”

A third thought on the future uses it by saying, “This has serious meme potential. Someone swaps the 'S' for an 'L'.”

Another said: “That's a cold party.”

While a fifth said: “Better than Siuu.”

Qatar defeated Palestine, Uzbekistan and Iran to reach the final.

Meanwhile, Jordan shocked South Korea in the semi-finals after beating Tajikistan and Iraq in the knockout rounds.
