In the 53rd minute, Park Yong-woo made a mistake in passing, and Neimat burst into the penalty area and scored a goal, and Jordan took the lead. In the 66th minute, Lee Gang-in made a mistake in sharing the ball, Hwang In-beom was cut off by the opponent, and Tamari scored with a low left-footed shot in front of the penalty area after connecting two people.
After the victory over South Korea, Jordan became the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup. Tamari became Jordan's number one contributor to Jordan's advancement with one pass and one shot, and former international Xu Yang pointed out, "If Jordan ends up winning the championship, Tamari will become the MVP." ”
While the team advanced to the Asian Cup final for the first time in team history, creating the best Asian Cup result in team history, Jordan also became the first team to qualify for the Asian Cup final for the first time in 13 years.
