After a close knockout match, Jordan beat Tajikistan 1-0 to advance to the Asian Cup semifinals.
Tajikistan's Great Run Is Over
Despite a close game in the quarterfinals, Tajikistan's blocked goal gave Jordan the win. Strong defensive play from both teams made the game amazing.

Their Croatian boss, Petar Segrt, noticed how hard his players were working and told them he admired their effort. Despite being eliminated, Tajikistan made a big mark at their first Asian Cup and won the hearts of many fans.
Jordan's Historic Achievement
