The Algerian national team won the Arab Cup 2021 title after defeating their Tunisian counterpart 2-0 in an exciting final match on Saturday evening. After the regular time ended in a goalless draw, with both teams having dangerous chances, Algeria scored the decisive goal in extra time, adding a second in the final moments of the match.
The first goal came from a brilliant shot outside the penalty area by substitute Amir Sayoud in the 99th minute, which sealed the Arab football celebration, while Yacine Brahimi added the second goal in the 125th minute when he found himself in front of an empty net.
This victory crowned Algeria's "exceptional" efforts in the tournament, as the "Desert Warriors" managed to overcome strong contenders like Morocco and Qatar on their way to the final, before defeating the "Eagles of Carthage."
Tunisian striker Seifeddine Jaziri was the tournament's top scorer with 3 goals. The Qatari national team secured third place earlier on Saturday after winning against Egypt in a penalty shootout.
