Before the tournament began, not even the most passionate supporters of these two Asian countries could have imagined that their beloved national teams would be the ones competing for the championship trophy in the finals of the 18th AFC Asian Cup.

The Jordanians battled fiercely to secure a spot in the last-16, clinching the top spot in their group among the top four third-placed teams. This was largely due to their 4-0 victory over Malaysia in the opening match of the tournament. They then showed an impressive performance in the knockout rounds, defeating Iraq (3-2) and Tajikistan (1-0). Their success continued into the semi-finals, where they caused a stir across the Asian continent.

The Chivalrous not only dismantled the tournament hot favorite, South Korea, turning them into mere mortals with a convincing 2-0 victory, thanks to second-half goals from Yazan Al-Naimat and Mousa Al-Tamari, but they also completely stifled one of the most potent offensive lines in the AFC region. They prevented Tottenham’s star player, Heung-min Son, and his teammates from landing a single shot on target.

It’s not shocking that Jordan made waves at this year’s Asian Cup, considering their leader once led Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca to a CAF Champions League trophy victory in 2017. Now, the strategist Hussein Ammouta has an opportunity to add another remarkable accomplishment to his resume.

Discussing the other finalist, Qatar stormed through the group stage flawlessly, maintaining a perfect 100% record (3/3) and not allowing a single goal. However, their journey through the knockout rounds to the Asian Cup final was akin to navigating through a tumultuous storm, which they courageously weathered to stand on the brink of defending their continental title.

In the round of 16, the Marrons had to overcome a deficit to eliminate Palestine. They then narrowly defeated Uzbekistan in a thrilling quarterfinal penalty shootout. Thanks to Almoez Ali’s late winning goal in a tense five-goal semifinal, they secured a spot in the competition’s title match for the second consecutive time.

Qatar stunned Iran with a 3-2 victory in the semi-final showdown, becoming only the third country this century to qualify for consecutive Asian Cup finals. Now, they aim to emulate their 2019 success in the UAE, where they dominated Japan 3-1 in the final, as they look to retain the continental title on home turf this year.

Just prior to the Asian Cup’s start, the two countries clashed in a friendly match, with Jordan narrowly celebrating a 2-1 victory. However, after this initial setback, Tintin Marquez’s team showed an extraordinary response by converting all their six AFC challenges into wins. Now, they aim to end the tournament on a high note, seeking a swift and decisive revenge against their Saturday opponent.

CONCLUSION

Despite the Maroons enjoying massive support at their home ground Lusail and boasting a superior pedigree as they head into the tournament’s final battle, defeating Hussein Ammouta’s squad will not be a walk in the park. However, we are confident that both teams will score at least once, promising a thrilling and lively final match.

Jordan has shown potential to be a threat to reigning champions Qatar in the Asian Cup, having managed to score at least twice in four of their six matches. Qatar, despite not conceding a goal in their Group A matches, seemed shaky in their defense during the latter stages of the tournament, allowing a goal in each of their three knockout matches.
