Jordan vs South Korea. Will the Jordanians continue to surprise?
On February 6, in the semi-final match of the Asian Football Cup, the national teams of Jordan and South Korea will meet. The match will be hosted by the Ahmad Bin Ali Arena (Al-Rayyan).
The Jordan national team has never been one of the giants of Asian football. Development and a qualitative leap occurred in the 2010s, the team became a regular participant in the final tournaments of the Asian Cup. Hussain Ammut's boys are producing their highest ever results in this season's edition, breaking into the top four on the continent for the first time. In the last round, the “eagles” beat Tajikistan 1:0 with a minimal score.
I would like to note that the team scored 10 goals during the tournament and conceded 5 goals. Al-Namat stands out in the Jordan scorers' race, with 2 goals and 2 assists.
South Korea
The South Korean national team is one of the strongest in its region; the team always fights for medals. At this tournament, Jurgen Klinsmann's guys don't look very confident. At the stage of the 1/8 finals, the “Asian Tigers” were able to beat Saudi Arabia 2:1 only on penalties. In the quarterfinals, the Koreans played for 120 minutes, only beating Australia 2:1 in overtime. Hwang Chi Chan and Son Heung Min scored goals for the Red Devils.
Progress through the playoffs is difficult, but the opponents were among the best in the region, so the Koreans are showing their class and level in Qatar.
