Full Analysis Summary
Arab Cup final recap
Morocco defeated Jordan 3–2 after extra time to win the FIFA Arab Cup in a dramatic final at Lusail Stadium.
An early long-range strike set the tone and late heroics decided the outcome.
Oussama Tannane opened the scoring from distance within the first minutes.
Jordan turned the game around through Ali Olwan's second-half header and a penalty.
Substitute Abderrazak Hamdallah produced a late equaliser before scoring again in extra time to seal the victory.
Reports agree on the 3–2 extra-time result and the basic scoring sequence that sent Morocco back to the top of the Arab Cup podium.
Coverage Differences
Minor timing and name variations
Sources agree on the match result and main events but give slightly different timing and name spellings for key moments: some reports date the early Morocco goal to the third minute, others to the fourth, and the scorer's name is variously rendered as 'Abderrazzaq Hamed Allah', 'Abderrazak Hamdallah' or 'Abderrazak Hamdallah' when describing the late double. These are reporting differences rather than contradictions about the outcome.
Arab Cup final recap
Many sources highlight dramatic swings in the match narrative.
Jordan, making their Arab Cup final debut, fought back after the break with Ali Olwan's headed goal and a subsequent penalty.
Morocco then responded in stoppage time and again in extra time to take the lead.
Several outlets emphasize Jordan's bravery and tournament breakthrough while noting Morocco's experience and composure under pressure that ultimately decided the final.
Coverage Differences
Emphasis and tone
Some outlets emphasise Jordan’s tournament breakthrough and bravery (beIN SPORTS, Azat TV, موقع عمان نت), while others foreground Morocco’s experience and historical pedigree (beIN SPORTS, thenationalnews). These are tone differences: both narratives coexist rather than directly contradicting the match events.
Match controversy and VAR rulings
Controversy and officiating played a decisive role according to several reports.
Jordan appeared to regain the lead in stoppage time of normal time before VAR intervened.
An extra-time Jordan goal was also ruled out for handball, altering the final course.
Outlets that include VAR detail the overturned decisions explicitly.
Other outlets report the disallowed goals as rulings without elaborating on VAR involvement.
Coverage Differences
Level of detail on VAR/handball
Azat TV and موقع عمان نت explicitly report that a stoppage-time goal was overturned by VAR or ruled out for handball, while beIN SPORTS and Al Jazeera's snippets do not mention VAR or the specific handball call in their summaries. This is an omission in some outlets rather than a direct contradiction about the match result.
Differences in match coverage
Coverage differed on match context and peripheral details.
Some reports, such as Outlook India, mixed match reporting with extended pre-match build-up and even had an inconsistent opening referencing an unrelated 'La Albiceleste' World Cup result.
Other outlets focused tightly on the match events, scoring and key moments.
Outlook India also provided lineups, attendance and details of royal presence that are absent from many other match reports.
Coverage Differences
Unique/off-topic / Error
Outlook India’s piece 'mixes a match result with the pre‑match build‑up' and opens with an apparently misplaced claim that 'La Albiceleste' won a World Cup — an inconsistency not seen in sport-focused match reports from regional broadcasters and news services that directly cover the final itself.
Match coverage summary
Reporting across West Asian broadcasters, regional outlets and international services converges on the core facts: Morocco’s 3–2 extra-time win, the scorers Tannane, Olwan and Hamdallah, and decisive officiating moments, while differing in emphasis, small timing details and whether they include wider pre-match or VAR detail.
Readers should note Outlook India’s documented inconsistencies in its opening paragraph and consult multiple reports for both play-by-play detail and broader context.
Coverage Differences
Summary / Omission
Most West Asian and regional sports outlets provide coherent match narratives and context (The New Arab, beIN SPORTS, thenationalnews, موقع عمان نت), while Outlook India contains an editorial or reporting error in its opening that mixes unrelated content, demonstrating a clear omission or mistake in that source's presentation of the match.
