In a breath-taking final where momentum bounced between both sides, Pakistan showed they were the most resilient Asian nation as they wrestled the Asian Champions Trophy from reigning champions, India. The Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha showed the phenomenal sporting culture of Qatar, with the packed stadium left electrified with the pace and skill shown by both teams.



The lead changed hands three times before Pakistan scored the game winning goal as they re-took the lead in the 64th minute through Ateeq Muhammad to win the final 5-4.



Earlier that day Malaysia claimed the bronze medal with a well worked 3-1 win over China. Oman surprised the world by beating Japan 2-1 to take 5th place.
