Malaysia lost "crushingly" to Jordan

After more than 10 minutes of play, when the match was relatively balanced, Jordan suddenly scored the opening goal. Receiving the ball from the left wing, defender Mahmoud Al-Mardi fired a beautiful long-range shot into the Malaysian net.

In the 17th minute, Jordan had the opportunity to double the gap when they were awarded a penalty. On the 11m penalty spot, Musa Al-Taamari successfully fooled Malaysia goalkeeper Syihan Hazmi, raising the score to 2-0 for the white team.

In the rest of the first half, most of the dangerous opportunities belonged to Jordan. One of them was converted into a goal by the representative of the Middle East region. In the 32nd minute, Mahmoud Al-Mardi completed Jordan's counter-attack with a close-range shot to increase the score to 3-0.

In the second half, Malaysia pushed up their formation to find a goal to shorten the gap. However, the Southeast Asian representative's attack was ineffective and could not score.

On the other side of the front line, Jordan did not attack much but still scored more goals. In the 85th minute, receiving a pass from his teammate, Musa Al-Taamari controlled the ball and then delicately shot, causing the Malaysian net to shake for the fourth time. This was also the goal that sealed the 4-0 victory for Jordan.

The big win over Malaysia helped Jordan rise to the top of Group E with 3 points, equal to South Korea but with a better goal difference. Bahrain and Malaysia shared the bottom 2 positions with 0 points.
