The weight of the team's players is incomparable to that of Korea. According to Transfermarkt, the Jordanian national team's players are valued at 13.65 million euros. Except for Moussa Al-Tamari (6 million euros), who plays for French Ligue 1 Montpellier, most of them play in the Jordan League, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar League. 스포츠토토
The Korean national team has a market value of 193 million euros. Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae is the highest with 60 million euros, followed by Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-min with 55 million euros, and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton Wanderers) with 22 million euros.
Korea has overwhelmed Jordan in past matches as well. It had three wins and three draws in six matches against Jordan. It had three consecutive wins before the match.
When Korea and Jordan were tied in the semifinals, Opta, a soccer statistics firm, used its supercomputer to calculate a 69.6 percent chance for Korea to beat Jordan. Global gamblers also rushed to bet on Korea's victory.
However, the result of reversing the expectations of supercomputers and gamblers came out in the semifinals of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 2023 Asian Cup at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al Raiyan, Qatar, on the 7th (Korea time). South Korea gave the first goal to Jordan Yazan al-Naimat in the 8th minute of the second half and fell to the knee 0-2 in the 11th minute of the second half when Moussa al-Tamari allowed an additional goal.
All eyes were on the match as Jordan's complete victory and Korea's crushing defeat. Korea had a 67 percent lead in ball possession, but that was the end of the game. Jordan shook Korea with its fierce counterattack led by Al-Naimat and Al-Tamari, both of whom have infinite forward pressure and outstanding penetration ability. Jordan led the game 12-5 with seven shots on goal, while Korea had none. Lee Jae-sung's header hit the post was the only chance to score a goal in the game.
"I'm very disappointed. I'm devastated by the result. Jordan has had an amazing journey in this tournament. It's incredible and it deserves it. They fought until the end, but it was a very disappointing match for us," Son said in an interview.
Jordan once issued a warning against Korea. Jordan was in the same Group E as Korea in the group league. As a result, the team met with Korea in its second group match on June 20.
Prior to the Asian Cup, Jordan's performance was not good. In September last year, the team lost 0-6 to Norway and 1-2 to Azerbaijan, while in October's two A-matches in preparation for the Asian Cup, it tied Iran 3-1 and Iraq 2-2. In the second qualifying round of the North-China World Cup in November, the team failed to secure a 1-1 win or loss against Tajikistan, before kneeling 0-2 to Saudi Arabia.
In the warm-up match against Lebanon, which was considered one of the weakest teams in the Asian Cup finals, the team lost 1-2. The team beat Qatar 2-1 in the warm-up match, reporting a win after eight matches, but ended up losing 1-6 to Japan, the favorite to win the title. For Jordan, the match felt a "wall" to the team.
Given the players' base, the opponent's record, and the recent trend, the prevailing view was that the second group match between Korea and Jordan would be a one-sided trend. The interest was how many goals South Korea would score rather than winning or losing.
However, Jordan scolded Korea in the match. Son Heung-min scored the first goal of the penalty kick in the 9th minute of the first half, but Park Yong-woo's own goal in the 37th minute of the first half put the game back to square one. Then, Yazan al-Naimat, one of Jordan's aces, scored a come-from-behind goal in the extra time of the first half, driving Korea to the brink of defeat. In the extra time of the second half, Yazan Abu al-Arab scored an own goal and Korea managed to finish the match 2-2.
Jordan is not the only team that scolded Korea. Malaysia, which was the third match of the group league, ranked 130th in the FIFA rankings and was considered the weakest among the teams that participated in the event. Korea faced off with Korea as it was eliminated early on due to two losses in the two group matches. Korea, which received a "preventive shot" in the match against Jordan, was expected to secure a landslide victory against Malaysia and advance to the round of 16 as No. 1 in the group.
