Doha, Qatar: Jordan ended Egypt’s FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 campaign with a dominant 3-0 win at Al Bayt Stadium yesterday.

The Jordanians finished on top of Group C with a perfect run to book a quarter-final meeting with Iraq, who came second in Group D following a 0-2 loss to title holders Algeria later yesterday.

Jordan’s exceptional Group C campaign had earlier seen a 2-1 win over UAE and a 3-1 victory against Kuwait before handing Egypt their third loss in a row.

Jordan struck first after a fast opening period in which both goalkeepers were tested. Mohammad Abuhasheesh found the breakthrough in the 19th minute when a quick move on the right created space in the box. The loose ball fell to the midfielder and he added the finishing touches with a left footed shot to the bottom left corner past Egypt custodian Mohamed Bassam.

Jamal Sellami’s side doubled their lead in the 41st minute with a brilliant goal by Mohammad Abu Zraiq who picked up a clever pass from Ahmad Ersanand shot into the bottom left corner. The winger, later named Player of the Match, continued to trouble Egypt.
