Jordanians celebrated the night away from Doha to Amman as their team reached their first Asian Cup final.
Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Qatar – A simple message from Jordan’s coach Hussein Ammouta – “go and have fun” – helped deliver one of the most famous wins for Jordan as they brushed aside Asian football giants South Korea on their way to their first Asian Cup final.
A goal each from Yazan Al Naimat and Musa Tamari saw Jordan beat South Korea 2-0 in the first semifinal of the Asian Cup 2023 at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday night.
“Our coach gave us the confidence and tactical discipline we needed to come through against our opponents,” Tamari, who was also named player of the match, told reporters after the game.
He was also quick to acknowledge and thank the thousands of fans who vociferously supported his team against the mighty South Korean side.
“All Arab fans stood with us and it made a big difference tonight,” Tamari said.
