Under the sky of Amman: Central Coast Mariners win the AFC Cup

On Sunday night, the Central Coast Mariners club lived a state of glory, as they celebrated the wonderful crowning of the AFC Cup, after tremendous efforts and amazing performance, thanks to their exciting victory over Al Ahed club in the final match held at the Sultan Qaboos Complex Stadium in the capital, Oman.

During the first half of the final match, the atmosphere witnessed an exciting balance between the two teams, where neither of them could achieve a clear superiority, and despite the scarcity of scoring opportunities on both sides, the cautious defensive spirit adopted by Al Ahed allowed Central Coast to control the midfield in general. In the twenty-eighth minute, Central Coast had a golden opportunity to open the scoring, but the Lebanese goalkeeper showed exceptional brilliance and skillfully saved it. Al Ahed did not skimp on the response, and threatened the Australian team's goal with a dangerous opportunity, but the brilliance of Central Coast's goalkeeper prevented the achievement of the goal.

In the second half, the Central Coast team increased the pace of its offensive pressure, trying hard to penetrate Al Ahed's defenses, and reach its goal, and despite the great efforts made by the Australian team, the solid defense of Al Ahed continued to thwart their attempts. In the eighty-fourth minute, the substitute Alu Kool managed to shake Al Ahed's net and score the important winning goal, which drove the Central Coast fans to optimism about the crowning, and despite Al Ahed's desperate attempts to realize the draw, the time was not in their favor, and thus the match ended with Central Coast's victory and their crowning of the prestigious Asian championship, in a decisive moment that will remain immortal in the memory of continental football.
