DOHA – A 5-4 penalties win over the Egyptian national team gave Qatar the bronze medal at the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup on Saturday.
The Egyptian team will collect a $ 1.5-million reward, while Qatar will gain $2 million.

No goal was scored in the extra 30 minutes. In a dramatic penalty shootout that followed, Qatar won 5-4, with Barsham again the hero.
Striker Mohamed Sherif wasted the sixth penalty for Egypt.
