Central Coast Mariners have made history by becoming the first Australian club to win the AFC Cup. The team, led by coach Mark Jackson, secured a 1-0 victory over Lebanon's Al-Ahed in the final held at the Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat.
The winning goal came from substitute Alou Kuol, who scored in the 84th minute to clinch the trophy for the Mariners. Kuol's decisive goal was a result of teamwork and determination, as he followed the instructions of Coach Jackson to give his all for the team.
