I wrote an article about the semi-finals of the Asian Cup the day before yesterday, and the Jordan team won, and the result really came true, and it seems that my hunch was correct.
In last night's Asian Cup semi-finals, Jordan defeated South Korea 2-0 with an excellent performance and advanced to the Asian Cup final for the first time in history. The victory not only allowed Jordan to make new history, but also gave Jordan the last laugh when the two teams that had met in the group stage collided again.
In the first half, Jordan showed a strong attacking force and created a number of threats. However, South Korean goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo played well and tried to keep the goal intact. South Korea, meanwhile, also had a chance to break the deadlock, with Lee Jae-seong missing a chance with a header that hit the post.
Heading into the second half, Jordan finally broke the deadlock. Neimat opened the scoring for Jordan before Tamari sealed the win. The 2-0 score allowed Jordan to eliminate South Korea and successfully advance to the final. This is also the first time in the history of the Jordanian team to qualify for the Asian Cup final, creating a new history.
At the press conference after the game, the head coach of the South Korean team, Klinsmann, smiled and faced the ** question, and said frankly that he would discuss with the Korean Football Association whether to resign after returning home. Klinsmann said that while the team has grown and improved, he is very angry that mistakes in the game have led to the goal being conceded. At the same time, he also expressed respect for the excellent performance of the Jordanian team, believing that the handshake with the opponent was a recognition of their excellent performance.
For South Korea, the defeat meant they extended their 64-year streak of missing the Asian Cup. As a traditional powerhouse in Asian football, South Korea did not perform well in this Asian Cup, losing to Jordan in the group stage. The semi-final defeat has darkened the prospects of the South Korean team, and whether Klinsmann will resign will also become an important topic for the Korean team to prepare for the next game.
