The first semi-final of the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup, at the Ben Ali Stadium, witnessed the sparkling contest between Jordan and South Korea. The score is Jordan 2-0 South Korea, and Jordan has the momentum of the dark horse to the fullest. The championship of the competition depends on defense, but the South Korean team's defense will be torn apart. Jordan's two pressing offensive goals disgraced Jurgen Klinsmann's South Korean men's team.
Asian Cup semi-finals: Jordan 2-0 South Korea
In the opening attack, Jordan pressed the formation forward to put enough pressure on the South Korean team's defense.
South Korea threatened with long balls. Son Heung-min's offside shot is an opportunity to take advantage of such a deep space.
Although the score was 0-0 at halftime, the fast pace of attack and defense was still dizzying. In particular, the aggressive style of play of the Jordanian team made the fans addicted. Jordan's four shots on target were just a bit away from scoring. The South Korean team is also quite old-fashioned, using Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in in the front court to create enough threats.
The Jordanian team's tenacious fighting spirit can control the match point of the game at any time. Jordan has also fully seized such an opportunity.
Jordan pressed high, seized the hole in the South Korean backline, and scored first
South Korea retreated low and scored the second goal by Jordan in front of the penalty area
Looking back at the routine of Jordan's two goals, they all tore apart South Korea's back line through pressing, tackles, breakthroughs, and cross runs, and the Jordan team's two goals perfectly interpreted the use of space.
South Korea lost in the second half of the offensive end, and the defensive line exposed gaps, Klinsmann relied too much on the inherent tactics, as well as the player's individual ability to play on the spot, and the weakness of the offensive and defensive imbalance was particularly obvious in this duel.
But personally, Jordan's No. 10 Tamari is the main striker of Montpellier in Ligue 1, and his value is 6 million euros, which is equivalent to our four Wu Lei. Compared with the South Korean team's 22 million euros Hwang Hee-chan, Tamari's key blow on the spot was stronger than Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan.
Jordan's No. 11 Yazan is not worth 700,000, but his two cross-runs are textbook-level. The old and spicy South Korea, lost to the dark horse Jordan, the last time the Jordanian team was amazing in the Asian Cup was in 2004, this time the Jordanian team created a new history - straight to the championship, is it difficult to reproduce the miracle of the European Cup?
What is certain is that this time the final carnival of the Asian Cup will belong to West Asia. Qatar and Iran who meet Jordan in the final tonight, look forward to it together.
