Three countries from the Middle East and one country from the Far East will participate in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. While it is no surprise for South Korea, Jordan is certainly one of the teams that made a real boom. With victories against the Iraq in the 1/8 finals and Tajikistan in the 1/4 finals, Jordan reached the top 4 teams on the continent. Someone will say that the draw was much easier for Jordan than for the other teams, but we must remember that in the group stage, Jordan played 2-2 against South Korea and defeated Malaysia 4-0. In the match against Iraq, they showed that they are a team that does not give up, and although they lost 2-1, with two goals in the 95th and 97th minutes, they managed to achieve a triumph and advance to the next round. True, they don't have players who play in well-known clubs, unlike South Korea, but what could be seen in the matches so far is great dedication and excellent team play. In the group stage, they were very close to achieving a triumph against today's rival, but they scored an own goal in the 91st minute and in that way they were left without a big surprise. As for South Korea, they reached this stage of the competition quite expectedly, because even before the start of the tournament they were one of the favorites to win. But they got here much more difficult than expected. In the group stage, they were far from the dominant team and achieved only one win with 2 draws. Along with Malaysia, which was the last team in the group, they conceded the most goals in the group stage. Despite the defense, which can be said to be very coordinated, because besides Min-Jae Kim, they all play in Ulsan Hyundai, they did not manage to keep a clean sheet in any match. South Korea was on the threshold of elimination in the 1/8 finals of the competition against Saudi Arabia, but they managed to equalize and then in extra time they reached the next round. The exact same thing happened in the 1/4 finals when they equalized with a penalty in the 96th minute against Australia and then Son scored in extra time. The stakes in this match are huge and I don't expect the guests to play too openly, because they have shown that their defense is not their strong point in this tournament. Jordan will certainly look for their chances from counter attacks or free kicks and I really think they are not without chances in this match. Certainly, South Korea is the favorite in this match, but I honestly think that they will have a lot of difficulty in winning this match with more than one goal difference.

来自中东的三个国家和来自远东的一个国家将参加亚洲杯半决赛。虽然这对韩国来说并不奇怪，但乔丹无疑是一支真正繁荣起来的球队。在1/8决赛中战胜伊拉克，在1/4决赛中战胜塔吉克斯坦，约旦进入了非洲大陆的前四名。有人会说，这场平局对乔丹来说比其他球队容易得多，但我们必须记住，在小组赛中，乔丹以2比2对阵韩国，4比0击败马来西亚。在与伊拉克的比赛中，他们表现出了不放弃的一面，虽然在第95分钟和第97分钟连进2球，最终以2比1的比分输掉了比赛，但还是取得了胜利，顺利晋级下一轮。诚然，与韩国不同，他们没有在知名俱乐部效力的球员，但从目前的比赛中可以看出，他们非常敬业，团队精神也很出色。在小组赛阶段，他们非常接近于战胜今天的对手，但是他们在第91分钟打进了一个乌龙球，这样他们就没有什么大的惊喜了。至于韩国队，他们进入这个阶段是意料之中的，因为在比赛开始之前，他们就已经是夺冠热门之一了。但他们到达这里比预期的困难得多。在小组赛中，他们与主队差距甚远，只取得了1胜2平的成绩。与小组最后一名的马来西亚一样，他们在小组赛中丢球最多。尽管他们的防守可以说非常协调，因为除了金珉宰之外，他们都在蔚山现代效力，但他们没有在任何一场比赛中保持不失球。韩国队在1/8决赛对阵沙特的比赛中险些被淘汰，但他们设法扳平了比分，并在加时赛中晋级下一轮。在1/4决赛中，韩国队在与澳大利亚队的比赛中，在第96分钟用点球扳平比分，随后孙兴慜在加时赛中进球。这场比赛的赌注很大，我不希望客队打得太公开，因为他们已经证明了他们的防守不是他们在这场比赛中的强项。乔丹肯定会从反击或任意球中寻找机会，我真的认为他们在这场比赛中不是没有机会。当然，韩国队在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的，但老实说，我认为他们要赢得这场比赛会有很多困难，因为他们的净胜球不止一个。
