It is the first time that Al-Ahli has won the AFC Championship. Al-Ahli reached the final round of Asian Club competitions held by AFC in 1986 and 2012, but failed to win in both games. Al-Ahli lost to Daewoo Royals in 1986 and Ulsan Hyundai (currently Ulsan HD) in 2012.
Roberto Firmino, who had two assists in the final and was involved in both goals, was named the MVP of the competition. Firmino displayed stellar performance at the event, scoring a total of six goals and seven assists.

Galenu, who received Firmino's pass in the 35th minute of the first half, kicked a surprise mid-range shot from outside the penalty box and shook Kasawa Ki's net.

The ball that left Galenu's tiptoe drew a picturesque curved trajectory and stabbed the top of the opposite goal.

Al-Ahli, who gained momentum, even scored an additional goal in seven minutes. Firmino's cross from the right side was headed by Frank Kessier to make it 2-0 before the first half was over.

Kawasaki, who advanced to the final by beating Alnasr (Saudi), where Cristiano Ronaldo played in the semifinals, was defeated by Al Ahli with a 7-17 shooting count and 0-7 effective shooting.

After beating Kawasaki, the runner-up will receive 10 million U.S. dollars as prize money. Kawasaki will also receive 4 million dollars.

Saudi striker Salim Dausari, who defeated Gwangju FC 7-0 led by coach Lee Jung-hyo in the semifinals, scored 10 goals in the tournament to become the top scorer.

Gwangju ace Asani scored nine goals, one short of Dausari.

The best goalkeeper position went to Edouard Mendy of al-Ahli.
