Host nation Qatar can continue to hope for a successful defense of their Asian Cup title after a 3-2 semi-final win against Iran.

On Saturday, Qatar will take on Jordan, who had eliminated South Korea the day before, in the World Cup final stadium in Lusail. It’s an underdog endgame.

Almoez Ali scores the winning goal for Qatar against Iran in the 82nd minute. Earlier, former Leverkusen players Sardar Azmoun (4th) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh scored from the penalty spot (51st) for Iran and Jassem Gaber (17th) and Akram Afif (43rd) for the hosts.

Qatar won the Asian Cup for the first time in 2019. However, at the World Cup at home in 2022, the team was eliminated in the preliminary round without a chance. Jordan, number 87 in the world rankings, never advanced beyond the quarter-finals of the continental tournament, which has been held since 1956. (SDA)
