Jordan Beats S. Korea to Secure Place at 2023 AFC Asian Cup Final
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Jordan football team defeated South Korea 2-0 in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup semifinals on Tuesday.
Yazan Al Naimat and Mousa Al Tamari scored two goals in the second half at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
Jordan’s positive play delivered dividends in the 53rd minute when Al Tamari pounced on a poor back pass from Jung Seung-Hyunto to send a well-timed pass to Al Naimat, who lobbed the ball over the advancing Jo for the opening goal.
That was to prove costly as Jordan struck again six minutes later, Al Tamari brilliantly cutting inside just above the area before unleashing a low drive past a despairing Cho.
Korea Republic’s attempts to find a way back were easily repelled from there on as Jordan held on for a well-deserved place in the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 final.
Jordan will play the winner of Iran and Qatar match in the final on Saturday.
