In the first half, Panshanbe hit the crossbar, Tajikistan missed the goal, Samyev left the field due to injury, Tajikistan made a passive substitution, and Jordan's close-range shot hit the side-netting, and the two teams exchanged a 0-0 score. In the second half, Tajikistan scored an own goal. In the end, Tajikistan, the big dark horse, fell 0-1 and stopped in the quarterfinals! The first top 4 teams in this Asian Cup are produced: Jordan! They set a new record in team history!
On the road to promotion, both teams are dark horses! Tajikistan finished second in Group A behind defending champions Qatar, beating the national team and Lebanon, and beat the UAE on penalties in the knockout round to advance to the quarterfinals. The Jordanian team won the third place in the group after Bahrain and South Korea in Group E, and advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout round as the third place in the group with the best results, and eliminated the former champion Iraq 3-2 in the 1 8 finals, and scored 2 goals in stoppage time in a row to reverse the stunner! World ranking: 106th in Tajikistan and 19th in Asia; Jordan is ranked 87th in the world and 13th in Asia. Relatively speaking, Tajikistan, who reached the quarterfinals for the first time in the main draw of the Asian Cup, are even more impressive, with Tajikistan making history with every step forward, and Jordan are now equalling their best record in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
After the opening, Nemat shot low from the outside, and the Jordan team completed the first shot! However, the most threatening attack was from the Tajik side, when in the 15th minute, Mabashoev's inverted triangle cross was met by Panshanbe. Subsequently, Jordanian striker Nejat collapsed in the penalty area, and Chinese referee Fu Ming said there was no penalty. Samiev injured his thigh and could not hold on and had to leave the field, leaving tears of sadness, including the players of the Jordanian team, who comforted Samyev. In the 42nd minute, the Jordanian offensive player fell in the penalty area again, and the referee Fu Ming still did not say anything. From the point of view of the penalty scale, Fu Ming is still relatively lenient, especially the key penalty of penalty kicks, which is very cautious. The first half was a 0-0 draw, and the Jordan team had the upper hand statistically, leading 56%-44% in possession and 4-3 in shots on goal.
Yibian fought again, Tajikistan continued to create threats, Omarbayev shot high from a distance, Shukurov tried again with a long shot, and Mabashoyev hit the ball with a single shot! Next, the Jordanian team gradually took control of the situation and formed a siege of Tajikistan. Finally, in the 66th minute of the game, taking advantage of a corner kick in the front, central defender Nasib inserted a header and hit the Tajikistan player Hanonov and refracted into the net. Therefore, this goal counts as an own goal for Khanonov! It has to be said that Tajikistan did not have good luck, hitting the crossbar in the first half, scoring an own goal in the second half, and also missed a number of good chances to score.
In the remaining game time, Tajikistan threatened a number of times, but all of them were goalless! In the end, with Hanonov's own goal made by Nasib, the Jordan team eliminated Tajikistan 1-0 and reached the top 4 of the Asian Cup for the first time in history!
