Jordan will make their Asian Cup final debut after a surprising yet well-deserved 2-0 victory over South Korea in the semifinal Tuesday night.

  • 90'+9
    End of the match: Jordan 2 - 0 South Korea

    Jordan's fairytale continues as they slay another giant in South Korea en route to the final with an excellent and couragous performance. They await the winner of the semifinal match between Qatar and Iran. Meanwhile, South Korea's 64-year wait for an Asian Cup title will continue.

  • 90'+8

    Jeong Woo-yeong's diving header drives the ball off the mark. Time is running out for South Korea.

  • 90'+4

    Spamming crosses into Jordan's box might not be the best way for South Korea to get a goal, as Jordan players have been superior in the air in this game.

  • 90'+2

    Two more substitutions for Jordan. Coach Ammouta brings on Rajaei Ayed and Ibrahim Sadeh.

  • 88'

    Cho Gue-sung has a one-on-one with keeper Abu Laila, but he is too hesitant to take the shot. Cho falls after a tackle and demands a penalty, but instead gets a booking for diving.

  • 87'
    South Korea are attacking with 10 players, but they must be very cautious of Jordan's counterattacking abilities.
  • 85'

    Jordan's hero Yazan Al-Naimat is subbed out for Anas Bani Yaseen. What a sensational second half performance by the striker!

  • 84'

    South Korea desperately need a goal, but they cannot seem to figure out how to get one. Son Heung-min loses the ball in front of Jordan's box, and Cho Gue-sung is shown a yellow for a foul to stop the counterattack.

  • 81'

    South Korea make two substitutions to freshen up their attack. Jeong Woo-yeong and Yang Hyun-jun are brought in.

  • 78'

    South Korea play on despite a Jordan player being on the ground. They do not want to waste any second now.
