Despite an enterprising Lee Kang-In, South Korea was eliminated by Jordan from the incredible Mousa Tamari in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup on Tuesday (2-0). The PSG player leaves Qatar, when the attacking midfielder from Montpellier plays the final on Saturday!

After the elimination of Japan by Iran last Saturday, it is the other East Asian favorite, South Korea, which is falling by the wayside at the Asian Cup! The Taeguk Warriors led by Jürgen Klinsmann were beaten by Jordan (2-0) on Tuesday in Qatar.

Son Heung-Min and PSG attacking midfielder Lee Kang-In tried hard but never managed to make the difference. They all return to their respective clubs since, unlike the CAN, there is no match for third place scheduled in the Asian Cup.

Tamari MVP!

Solid, the Jordanians of Moroccan coach Hussein Ammouta were exceptional on the counterattack thanks to Montpellier crack Mousa Tamari. The untenable left-handed dribbler launched Yazan Al Naimat for the opener (53rd) and scored the break goal ten minutes later (66th), for his third achievement.

Saturday at Lusail Stadium, the Jordanians will play their very first Asian Cup final against the winner of Iran-Qatar (scheduled for Wednesday, 4 p.m.), the best team of this edition against the defending champion who is playing at home.
