The two nations put on a terrific performance that captivated the crowd at the Papp László Budapest Sports Arena as Jordan triumphed 14-10 on points after the match finished level at 2-2.

Egypt were the favourites to come out on top and went ahead thanks to a 4-0 victory for double world champion Youssef Badawy over Afif Ghait.

Jordan hit back with a superb display from Mohamed Al-Jafari who defeated Ahmed Elmasry 5-1 before Ahmad Shadid swept aside Taha Mahmoud 8-2.

Abdalla Abdelgawid had an opportunity to level the scores but instead opted to play for a draw as his match with Masarwa Hassan finished scoreless.

The decision backfired for Egypt as they came up short against Jordan despite the best efforts of Abdalla Abdelaziz.

A waza-ari followed by a yuko saw Abdelaziz take a 3-0 lead but he was unable to add to his score while Abdullah Hamad got one point back.

Saito got two points back but Fernandez proved too strong, triumphing 9-4 to deliver the title for Spain for the first time since 2002.

Kosovo and Croatia claimed their first medals of the event with 2-0 wins over Kazakhstan and hosts Hungary respectively.
