The Arab Cup's 10th edition took place in the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar. (AFP)Extra-time goals by substitute Amr Sayoud and Yacine Brahimi have given Algeria a 2-0 win over neighbours Tunisia in the Arab Cup final. His thunderous 99th-minute shot gave Tunisia goalkeeper Mouez Hassen no chance and turned Sayoud into an instant national hero. Algeria finally made the breakthrough in extra time, although they needed more saves from Mbolhi to keep their lead intact. The tournament was designed as a dress rehearsal for next year’s World Cup.
