Jordan v Qatar: Asian Cup final – live

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of the final of the Asian Cup. It’s Qatar taking on Jordan, the hosts against the giant-killers, the defending champions v the first-time finalists. The show takes place at the Lusail Stadium, where Leo and his boys won the big one in 2022.

The visitors are the story, despite Qatar’s quest for back-to-back titles. Jordan, 87th in the world rankings, shocked Son Heung-min’s South Korea in the semi-finals with a 2-0 win to prompt jubilation in the streets of Amman. Qatar are here after a dramatic semi-final against Iran, with Almoez Ali’s 82nd-minute winner sealing a 3-2 victory.

The goals of Akram Afif – five in total – have helmed Qatar’s journey so far, while the one to keep an eye on for Jordan is Mousa Al-Tamari, who has three and does his day-to-day work at Montpellier in Ligue 1. He’s been called the ‘Jordanian Messi’, which is obviously a bit silly but, hey, I’d take it. Kick-off’s at 3pm (GMT) – I’m here to take you through to the close.
