A match in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup was played between South Korea and Jordan, and the result was an upset, with South Korea losing 2-0 to Jordan and being eliminated. It is hard to imagine that South Korea, ranked 3rd in Asia, was eliminated by Jordan, ranked 87th in the world. What is the concept of Jordan's ranking? It is even lower than the national football team, but it has played a very beautiful process and result. If the national football team can shoot 17 times in the whole game and win 2-0 against South Korea, like Jordan, how happy it will be for the fans. Obviously, this is a very great achievement for Jordan. This also allowed Jordan to set a team record and reach the final. A lot of people didn't expect a team like Jordan to get this far, and they are one step away from setting a more perfect record. Will they be able to win the championship in one fell swoop and become a super dark horse?
So far in this Asian Cup, the four favorites have all been eliminated, including Japan, South Korea, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Japan was the most helpless, as the No. 1 team in Asia, fell in the quarterfinals and was eliminated by Iran. South Korea was more humiliated, being eliminated by a team that was far inferior to them in the world rankings. As for Australia and Saudi Arabia, they were both eliminated by South Korea. As a result, South Korea itself was sad, what a magical plot. South Korea and Japan both have one characteristic this time, and their defense is terrible. South Korea conceded a total of 10 goals and Japan conceded a total of 8. Many of the goals conceded by the Japanese team are the problem of goalkeeper Ayaki Suzuki. And South Korea conceding so many goals is more of a tactical problem. It turns out that no matter how high the ranking is, it is difficult to achieve good results once the defense is not done well.
Now there are only three teams left in the Asian Cup, including Jordan, Iran and Qatar. Jordan are the least favourites, but they have already secured a place in the final. Iran and Qatar will battle it out for another place in the final. Iran is ranked 2nd in Asia and is strong. And Qatar is the host and has the support of many fans. The matchup between these two teams is bound to be very intense, and it's really hard to say who will have the last laugh.
