Jordanian coach Jamal Selami lowered his head.
Jordanian coach Selami, who felt defeated after giving South Korea a second run, said he thought of the next game.
The Jordanian national soccer team, led by head coach Jamal Selami, lost 0-2 to South Korea, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, at Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan, on the 10th (Korea time) in the third Group B match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifying round with Jordan.
Jordan lost the top spot in Group B to South Korea after failing to earn any points. Jordan’s ranking may change again depending on the outcome of the Iraq-Palestine match.
Jordan, which was in trouble after ace Moussa al-Tamari and Yazan al-Naimat were injured last month, put Al-Naimat on the bench and played in the match against Korea without Al-Tamari from the list. For Jordan, it was like starting the first half without all the guns.
Al-Tamari and Al-Naimat did not participate, but Jordan’s attack was more threatening than expected. Jordan built a solid defense line centering on the back three and shook Korea’s defense several times by deploying quick counterattacks through the sides.
However, the situation quickly collapsed. He ended up losing a point on a header shot to Lee Jae-sung following Seol’s cross in the 38th minute of the first half.
Jordan, who finished 0-1 at the start of the first half, pulled the reins of the attack by rushing in Al Naimat at the start of the second half, but South Korea’s defense, guarded by “captain” Kim Min-jae, was rarely opened. Rather, Oh Hyun-kyu, the Korean joker card, was allowed to score an additional goal. 메이저사이트
After the second run, Jordan was completely drained and eventually lost 0-2 at home, unable to continue the energy of the 2023 Asian Cup runner-up.
“We didn’t have good results at home. We feel responsible for the outcome. We were unable to do our best. We made numerous mistakes and allowed two runs in the offensive zone,” Jordanian coach Selami said in a post-match press conference. “When Musa al-Tamari and Yazan al-Naimat are fit enough to play games again, we will be able to show the same performance as before.”
