Korea's overwhelmed Jordan
While "Korea's overwhelmed Jordan" is at it, the first championship vs. the host country Qatar for two consecutive wins
Will the team that beat Korea win again this time.
Host Qatar will play the 2023 AFC Asian Cup Final against Jordan at Lusail Stadium in Qatar at midnight on the 11th.
Jordan defeated Korea 2-0 in the semifinals. Korea's first Asian Cup championship in 64 years was a setback. Klinsmann told a news conference on his return to Korea on Tuesday, "We lost the match against Jordan and failed to achieve our goal. Jordan was a much better team. Jordan is a team that deserves the final. With the team advancing to the semifinals and reaching the semifinals, I don't think we can say it's a failure," fueling public anger.
Qatar advanced to the final with a 3-2 victory over Iran after a slugfest. Qatar, the 2019 champion, is seeking its second consecutive title in the tournament.
Coincidentally, there is a myth that says, "If you beat Korea, you will win." Since 2007, the teams that eliminated Korea in the Asian Cup have all won the championship. In 2007, Iraq beat Korea in the semifinal by a penalty shootout. In 2011, Japan also beat Korea in the semifinal by a penalty shootout. Both teams are champions.
Korea lost to Australia 1-2 in the 2015 final. In 2019, Korea was held back by Qatar in the quarterfinals. Qatar kissed the first trophy of the tournament.
If jinx continues, Jordan will win the title this time. Jordan, which tied with South Korea 2-2 in the group stage, perfectly defeated South Korea 2-0 in the semifinals. If Jordan wins, it will be the first Asian Cup championship. 메이저사이트
