Jordan’s national football team secured a historic spot in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup for the first time in its history, achieving a crucial victory against Tajikistan (1-0) in the quarter-finals clash held today at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.
Fahadat Hanonov, the Tajikistan player, inadvertently scored an own goal in the 66th minute after a header played by Abdullah Nasib, former player of Al-Ittihad Alexandria.
The Jordanian team will await the outcome of the later clash between Australia and South Korea to determine their next opponent in the semi-finals.
