Jordan into quarters after dramatic Asian Cup win
Jan 29, 2024
Jordan pulled off a stunning late recovery to book their place in the quarter-finals of the AFC Asian Cup with victory over Iraq.
Trailing 2-1 deep into added time, Jordan scored twice within a minute for a dramatic victory, and a last eight showdown against Tajikistan.
Yazan Al-Naimat put Jordan ahead in first half injury time following a fine move, but Iraq went ahead with goals in the 68th and 76th minutes.
All seemed doomed, before Yazan Al-Arab equalized in the 95th minute, before Nizar Al-Rashdan scored the sensational winner a minute later.
The quarter-final will take place on Friday at 2.30pm in Doha, Qatar.
