Jordan
The Jordanian contingent is presently scripting history before our very eyes, as the "eagles" have never before advanced to the quarterfinal stage. It is noteworthy, however, that during the group stage, Hussein Ammout's team failed to leave a significant impression. After trouncing Malaysia (4-0), the "eagles" shared points with South Korea (2-2), and in the third match, succumbed to Bahrain (0-1). In the first leg of the playoffs, the Jordanian squad orchestrated one of the foremost sensations. Trailing Iraq until the 90+5 minute, Ammout's proteges netted twice in extra time, seizing victory with a scoreline of 3-2. The match against Tajikistan proved to be less prolific, with Hanonov's own goal determining the outcome (1-0).
South Korea
Initially regarded as one of the favorites for the Asian Cup, Jurgen Klinsmann's team now harbors maximum chances for success, given the departure of several top-tier squads from the tournament. Yet, grouped with Jordan, the "Asian Tigers" were unable to showcase their full prowess. After defeating Bahrain (3-2), the Koreans drew with Jordan (2-2) and Malaysia (3-3) in subsequent rounds. Klinsmann's charges faced substantial challenges in knockout-stage encounters. Saudi Arabia was vanquished in a penalty shootout, and Australia succumbed due to a goal in extra time. Notably, on both occasions, the "Asian Tigers" avoided defeat by leveling the score in regular time.
