Jordan’s #9, #10, and #11 were destroying SK defensive line at will. They looked very dangerous every time they had the ball. Not to mention their half backs and defense. Very solid performance by Jordan.
I think Jordan tied SK during group stage if I’m not mistaken.
Japan started second half sitting back and relying on counterattacks to score but Iran kept using long balls and winning most of airial battles forcing Japan to play deep in their half. Iran also won most of the loose balls in the midfield and kept the pressure.
Don’t forget that Japan appeared...
