Jordan stuns South Korea to enter final for the first time

TEHRAN, Feb. 06 (MNA) – Goals from Yazan Al-Naimat and Musa Al-Tamaari saw Jordan beat title favourite South Korea 2-0 to march into its first AFC Asian Cup final, at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium here on Tuesday.

A dominant performance from start to finish saw Jordan upstage a Korea Republic side who simply couldn’t match the pace and determination of their opponents, who booked a spot in the AFC Asian Cup final for the first time in history, the AFC reported.

Jordan didn’t waste time in taking the game to Korea Republic, with their fast start almost catching the East Asian side by surprise, Yazan Al Naimat’s low strike in the fourth minute from just inside the area forcing goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo into a diving save.

The West Asian side looked dangerous every time they transitioned into attack with Mousa Al Tamari waltzing his way past three defenders before setting up Noor Al Rawabdeh, who brought the best out of Jo.

Iran will play the hosts Qatar to decide the other finalists on Wednesday.
