Whoever wins will face Japan! South Korea upset 3-3 Malaysia Jordan was passive and did not attack 0-1 in the whole game
On the evening of January 25, Beijing time, the two matches of the final round of Group E of the Qatar Asian Cup group stage started at the same time, which is also the most interesting matchup among the six groups.
Japan finished second in Group D due to their loss to Iraq in the second round. Therefore, the team that finishes first in this group will be crucial and will face Japan in the quarter-finals. The second-placed team in this group will face the winners of Group F in the quarter-finals, most likely Saudi Arabia.
Before the final round, Jordan and South Korea were tied on 4 points, with Jordan temporarily ranked first with two goal differences, and Bahrain ranked third with 1 win and 1 loss.
In the final round of the competition, South Korea vs. Malaysia, Jordan vs. Bahrain, the three teams have their own ideas, and the outside world is also worried about the existence of tacit goals or so-called match-fixing.
Both matches started at the same time, and in the 21st minute, Chung Woo-yeong's header broke the Malaysian goal, and with both games maintaining such scores, South Korea will rise to the top of the group.
It wasn't until the 34th minute that the first chance came into the match between Jordan and Bahrain, when Yusuf scored a solo goal from Bahrain to break the deadlock. At the end of the group, Bahrain would move up to second place in the group and Jordan to third place.
Just six minutes into the second half, South Korea scored again against Malaysia. Wong In-beom was tackled in front of his own penalty area and Visel Faser equalised for Malaysia.
At the end of the scoreline, Bahrain will become the top of the group, South Korea will drop to second and Jordan will remain third.
In the 58th minute, Kim Tae-hwan knocked down Arif in the penalty area, and the referee confirmed the penalty after reviewing it.
Arif took charge of the knife and took the penalty to the shot.
The situation in the group changed again, with South Korea falling to third and Jordan rising to second.
Jordan's game against Bahrain was extremely boring, the Jordanian team was not active throughout the game, and the fight was not fierce enough, and they even fell down when they faced opportunities. In the end, Bahrain won 1-0 against Jordan.
In the other game, Lee Gang-in scored a free kick in the 82nd minute.
In the 94th minute, Son Heung-min scored a penalty.
In the 104th minute, almost in the countdown stage, Malaysia completed a perfect draw!
In the end, South Korea drew 3-3 with Malaysia. So far, after 7 changes, all three teams in this group have been placed, Bahrain is first in the group and has to play against Japan, South Korea is second in the group, and Jordan is third in the group.
