Jordan overpowered Son Heung-min’s South Korea 2-0 on Tuesday to reach their first Asian Cup final and a showdown with Iran or hosts and holders Qatar.
Playing in the semi-finals for the first time and ranked 64 places lower, Jordan fully deserved their victory over Jurgen Klinsmann’s shell-shocked side.
South Korea’s talisman Son endured a frustrating night and his country’s wait for a first Asian Cup since 1960 goes on.
Jordan had more of the chances and deservedly went ahead soon after the break, Yazan Al-Naimat scoring his third goal of the tournament after South Korea gave the ball away cheaply.
