In the first game of the Asian Cup semifinals, Jordan defeated South Korea, which was about to win the championship, 2-0 and successfully advanced to the final. It seems that Asian football has really changed, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia have all been wiped out, fans: what about the national football team?
Japan was defeated by Iran in the quarterfinals, and many people thought that South Korea's chances of winning the championship exploded. Before the start of the Asian Cup, South Korea set a goal to win the championship and end the 64-year history of South Korea without a championship in the Asian Cup. South Korea did not follow in Japan's footsteps, beating Australia 2-1 in the quarterfinals to advance to the quarterfinals.
South Korea's opponent in the semi-finals is the same group opponent from Central Asia, Jordan. In the group stage, Jordan showed super combat effectiveness and drew 2-2 with South Korea. At that time, many people said that South Korea was deliberately trying to avoid Japan, and if it was a real weapon, Jordan would certainly not be an opponent.
Coincidentally, in the 1 4 finals, Jordan defeated Tajikistan, which is in a group with the same national football team, 1-0, and also advanced to the semifinals, and will compete with South Korea again. This time, South Korea will not have any reservations, and it is time to see if Jordan has the strength to compete with South Korea.
After the start of the game, the situation shown on the field is estimated to be a little different from what everyone expected before the game, not South Korea is pressing Jordan to play, but Jordan is attacking South Korea, more than 10 minutes into the opening game, South Korea's goal is full of dangers, so that goalkeeper Zhao Xianyou is very busy, fortunately, Jordan is a little unlucky, always a little bit away from the goal. I thought that the team that wasted many chances would be punished, but I didn't expect Jordan to finally knock on South Korea's door in the second half.
In the 53rd minute, Jordan's Tamari made a steal in the center circle arc, then ran all the way to the South Korean gate, and distributed the ball to Yazan at the top of the penalty area, who took the ball into the box and shot through the South Korean gate. In the 66th minute, Tamari made a steal at the back, and then took the ball all the way to complete a good play. The 2-0 score was maintained until the final whistle, and Jordan made history and successfully advanced to the final.
Many people who didn't watch the game thought that Jordan was an upset, but in fact, fans who watched the game thought it was normal for Jordan to win. In terms of shots on goal for both sides, Jordan had 17 and South Korea had only eight. And in terms of shot on target data, Jordan has 7, while South Korea has 0. After the whole game, South Korea really didn't have any chances, but Jordan created good chances with three passes and two downs.
It seems that Asian football has really changed, the former Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia have all been wiped out, and the other semi-final will depend on whether Iran can beat the host Qatar? Asian football has changed, many teams have become stronger, only the national football team has become weaker, and it is possible for any team to beat the national football team.
