The South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Klinsmann, drew 2-2 against Jordan in the second Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 8:30 p.m. on the 20th (Korea Standard Time).
Korea (+2) had one win and one tie with Jordan (+4), but fell to second place in the group due to lack of goal difference. Korea will play its last group match against Malaysia, which has already been eliminated. Korea, which is on the verge of defeat, dramatically tied the match 2-2 as Hwang In-beom’s shot hit the opponent’s defense in extra time in the second half and became a lucky own goal.
With one win and one draw, Korea performed worse than expected. Even Chinese media, which had no win or score due to 0-0 draw for two consecutive games, are ignoring Korea. They even say that Korea drew the match on purpose because they were afraid of meeting Japan in the round of 16.
“Is Korea intentionally avoiding the match against Japan? Korea dramatically tied against Jordan 2-2 due to Hwang In-beom’s induction of an own goal. Korea, which had been uncomfortable throughout the entire match, was lucky to have the draw. The optimistic outlook for Korea’s No. 1 ranking in Group E collapsed in vain,” Sohu said. 동행복권파워볼
“At halftime, people even said, ‘Is Korea intentionally trying to avoid Japan?’ Jordan overtook Korea to become the No. 1 player in Group E. Whether Korea meets Japan in the final or Group F, it will certainly face challenges. The same applies to Japan. This is what AFC wants,” he said, without expecting a win between Korea and Japan.
