Shortly after the start of the game, Nemat received the ball in front of him and turned to dribble forward, then cut inside and fired a long-range shot into the near corner, only to miss the ball. Four minutes later, Nahib headed in a powerful cross and fell to the ground, thankfully nothing was too big. In the 14th minute, Pan Rishangbe outflanked and tackled in the middle of the penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar and popped up, which was a pity. Four minutes later, Nejat broke through with the ball and was pulled down in the box, however, the referee did not award a penalty.
In the 29th minute, Samiev suffered a thigh strain and could not hold on and had to be substituted. He wept bitterly. Soyrov came off the bench. Two minutes later, Nemat flanked a tackle at the back post, but the kick was deflected wide and the ball went straight off the line. In the 34th minute, Shukurov's low shot from inside the box was confiscated by the goalkeeper. Even if it scored, it was useless, he was offside. Towards the end of the half, Ravadeid pulled out his foot in the middle of the penalty area and kicked it away, which was a pity. At half-time, the score was still 0-0!
In the second half, it was easy to play again. In the 54th minute, Mabashuev burst into the box after a steal at the top of the box arc and fired a low shot into the far corner, but the kick was deflected. It's a shame to waste this opportunity. In the 66th minute, Nasib grabbed a header in the penalty area, and the ball hit Hanonov and bounced into the goal. It was an own goal that sent Tajikistan down with a bang. Five minutes later, Tamari had a great chance in the middle of the box, but his shot was unbelievably wide!
In the 73rd minute, Shukurov made a long-range shot from the perimeter, and the goalkeeper saved the ball. Four minutes later, Tajikistan made a substitution, with Hamrokulov coming on as a substitute for Jalilov. After that, Jordan also made a substitution, with Sami and Hashesh coming off the bench. In the end, Jordan defeated Tajikistan 1-0 to reach the last four.
