JORDAN QUALIFY TO QUARTER-FINALS
Jan 21, 2016
Jordan's dream of qualifying for the Rio Summer Olympics football competition is alive and well after they reached the quarter-finals of the Asian U23 Cup tonight.
The Nashama needed just a point against Australia to book a place in the last eight, and it came following their second consecutive 0-0 draw in Group D.
Jordan will go through as runners-up, after the UAE came from behind to beat Vietnam 3-2 and qualify as Group D winners.
Next up for Jordan is South Korea who won Group C with two wins and a draw. The match takes place in Qatar on Saturday with a 3.30pm kick off Jordan time.
The tournament is a qualifying event for the Rio Olympics. The two finalists will go through along with the winner of the third place play off.
