Morocco kicked off a mental FIFA Arab Cup final by scoring from inside their own half after just four minutes.
The Atlas Lions beat Jordan at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar to secure the second title in their history.
Despite a penalty, late equaliser and extra-time winner, it was the opening goal which stole the show.
Oussama Tannane lobbed Jordan goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila from inside his own half to score his third international goal.
Jordan had given the ball away in the Morocco half before they worked the ball forward.
A smart backheel saw the ball land at Tannane's feet next to the centre circle.
After controlling the ball, he took aim at goal and fired a left-footed strike over Abulaila's head.
The keeper could be seen scrambling back to his goal in a desperate attempt to keep the ball out.
However, he was unable to do so as he instead picked up an injury in the process.
As Abulaila turned to dive after the ball, he collided head first with the goal post.
Before the cameras cut to Tannane's celebrations, the keeper could be seen clutching his face in agony on the floor and he even received some treatment from medics but would complete the rest of the match.
Abulaila would have thought his blushes had been spared after the break as Jordan mounted an impressive comeback.
A brace from Ali Olwan, including a penalty, turned the match on its head.
However, Morocco would grab a dramatic late equaliser through Abderrazzaq Hamed Allah.
His 88th minute strike was enough to send the final to extra-time.
Hamed Allah then scored his second during the additional 30 minutes, with his strike proving to be the winner.
What is the FIFA Arab Cup?
