WAFF U23 Championship
Halid Al Ghannam gave Saudi Arabia the perfect start but Jordan fought back through goals from Yazan Al Naimat, Yousef Abu Al Jazar and Abu Riziq to claim the title.
Saudi Arabia went into the match with a perfect record, having won both their group stage matches before defeating Iraq in the semi-finals and they showed their attacking intentions right from kick-off.
Al Ghannam gave Saudi Arabia the lead after 20 minutes when he slotted home a deflected cross past Jordan goalkeeper Ahmad Juaidi.
The lead, however, lasted only nine minutes as Al Naimat finished a quick run into the attacking third by edging past a defender and shooting beyond Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi.
Jordan controlled proceeding in the second half and took the lead in the 76th minute through Yousef Abu Al Jazar, who scored with a powerful strike from outside the area into the top left corner.
The Jordanians sealed victory in the seventh minute of stoppage time after Omar Handi relayed the ball to Riziq, who scored after his initial shot was blocked by Al Aqidi.
Both teams will now set their sights on the AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers later this month.
Saudi Arabia, the 2020 runners-up, are in Group D of the qualifiers with Uzbekistan, Kuwait and Bangladesh while Jordan will play in Group F with Turkmenistan and Palestine.
