“Lee Kang-in scored 2 goals? I scored 2 goals too!”Clinsman, Jordan French League FW Altamari alert

Jordan beat Malaysia 4-0 in the first Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup at Al Zanub Stadium in Al Wakra, Qatar, on the 16th (Korea time).

Jordan, ranked 87th in the FIFA rankings at the Asian Cup, was in Group E along with South Korea (23rd), Bahrain (86th), and Malaysia (130th). Korea, which defeated Bahrain 3-1 on the 15th, will face Jordan and Malaysia in turn on the 20th and 25th.

The Jordan-Malaysia match, which was noted as the next opponent of the Korean national soccer team led by Jurgen Klinsmann, ended with a landslide victory for Jordan by four goals. Malaysia, led by Kim Pan-gon, collapsed due to multiple goals scored by Altamari, who is playing in the French Ligue 1. 토토사이트 추천

It was a one-sided game. Malaysia led the team in ball possession ratio by 53 to 47, but its goal-scoring ability determined the outcome. Unlike Malaysia, which scored no goal by connecting only three of its eight shots on goal, Jordan made eight of its 14 shots on goal, and scored the half of the goal, cutting off the breath of Malaysia.

The first goal was also scored quickly. Jordanian midfielder Mahmoud Al-Mardi shook Malaysia’s net in the 12th minute of the first half. Al-Mardi, who caught the ball from the left side, kicked a wide-range shot with his right foot and was sucked into the net. The Malaysian goalkeeper reached out, but the trajectory was so good that there was no stopping it.

Just four minutes after the first goal, Jordan scored an additional goal with a penalty kick, and the game tilted quickly. Striker Yazan al-Naimat used his hands to knock the ball down while breaking into the box. After the VAR, the referee declared a penalty kick, and Altamari, a kicker, completely deceived the goalkeeper and stabbed him into the other side. Kim Pan-gon, who conceded two goals in the early hours, looked dark.

Jordan sealed the victory. In the 25th minute of the first half, Altamari left footed the ball that flowed out of the box in a chaotic situation. The Malaysian defense and the goalkeeper had no choice but to look at the sudden shot. However, it was not recognized as a goal as offside was declared in the previous situation.

However, he managed to widen the score by crawling. After receiving a penetrating pass from the right side in the 32nd minute of the first half, Al-Naimat even beat the goalkeeper and connected it low to the center. Al-Mardi, who had been rushing in, overcame a defensive battle and lightly pushed it into the empty goalpost to make the score 3-0.

Jordan, who scored three goals in the first half alone, succeeded in winning the first group game 4-0 in the 40th minute of the second half when Altamari saw the goalkeeper come out a little and made a chip shot over the goalkeeper’s height to achieve a multi-goal goal.

Jordan, which had three points, secured a goal difference of +4, rising to No. 1 in the group, beating over Clinsmanho (goal difference +2) who beat Bahrain 3-1 the previous day. Earlier, the Clinsmanho team won the match against Bahrain by two points with Hwang In-beom’s first goal and Lee Kang-in’s multi-goal.

Coincidentally, the two teams that won the first round will clash in the second round. South Korea and Jordan will hold the second round of the group stage at 8:30 p.m. on the 20th at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, to determine the top spot in Group E.

As Jordan won a great victory, South Korea has no choice but to raise its guard against Altamari, who scored multiple goals on the same day.

Al – Tamari, a left – footed winger born in 1996, is the ace of the international Jordanian football team. He is the only European player in the Jordanian team where the majority of the squad plays in his country’s league and currently plays in the French League 1, one of the top five European leagues.

Altamari started playing soccer for Shabaab Al-Ordon, a Jordanian professional football club, and gained experience through a loan to Al Jazeera. He moved to Apoel in 2018 and succeeded in entering Europe for the first time out of the Jordan League, and since then, he has played in the Belgian league’s Outheberle-Loeburn uniform and has been impressive, drawing the attention of European big league teams.

His performance in the 2022-23 season was impressive. At the time, Altamari was a former flanker, but was playing at wing-back by Marc Brice, who returned to the sidelines from the 2022-23 season and scored six goals and four assists in 34 appearances.

The team that sent Altamari a love call was Montpellier from Ligue 1. Montpellier signed Altamari, who had become a free agent since the 2022-23 season, without any transfer fee.

This recruitment made him an easy target. Immediately after joining Montpellier, Altamari played three games in August alone, scoring three goals and one assist. He was also named the Ligue 1 player of the month. Based on his fast speed, ability to move forward from dribbling and possessing balls, he consistently played for Montpellier, and posted three goals and three assists in 16 games this season. He started 15 games out of 16 games, making him a key player in Montpellier.

Altamari, who represents Jordan in Europe, has continued to play for the national team. Since his debut for the A team in 2016 at the age of under 20, he has already played 55 A matches, including against Malaysia, and has scored 14 goals.

At the 2019 Asian Cup, he also led his country to the round of 16 by scoring one goal and two assists in the group stage, but failed to advance to the quarterfinals after losing to Vietnam after a penalty shootout.

As such, Altamari, the most vigilant Jordanian player, scored two goals in the first game and is not enough to be the “No. 1 target” for the Korean national team preparing for the match against Jordan.

As Lee Kang-in is likely to start against Jordan, the “League 1 Derby” is expected to be held in Qatar. Lee Kang-in has also moved to PSG this season and has been playing as a key player in the team, scoring three goals and two assists in all tournaments since making his debut in the French League 1.

Lee Kang-in, who is showing remarkable growth, proved why he is called the “Clinsmanho Ace” in the match against Bahrain. When Korea allowed the equalizer to score 1-1, Lee Kang-in led the 3-1 victory by shaking the net twice with a long-term sharp left-footed shot. With a multi-goal against Bahrain, Lee Kang-in showed off his peak performance by scoring six goals and three assists in six recent A matches.

Coincidentally, the two players who are playing in the French League 1 led their country to victory by scoring two goals in the first round of the group stage. Attention is expected to be paid to who will smile at the end between Lee Kang-in and Altamari in the upcoming Korea-Jordan showdown.
