South Korea's next opponent, Jordan, wins 3-1 over Palestine...Al-Naimat Pulse

The Jordanians defeated the Palestinians 3-1 on Tuesday (local time) at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium in Malaysia in their second Group B match of the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 Asian qualifying tournament.

Jordan, who drew 1-1 with Kuwait in the first leg, moved to four points with one win and one draw alongside South Korea.

The Palestinians played a solid defense to a 0-0 draw against Hong Myung-bo's South Korea in Seoul on May 5, but were unable to match the sharpness of Jordan's attack.

Al-Naimat led the Jordanian attack in the absence of star striker Moussa Altamari, who plays for Montpellier (France), due to an ankle injury.

After opening the scoring five minutes into the match, Al-Naimat struck again five minutes into the second half after Wesam Abu Ali's 41st-minute strike made it 1-1.

Al-Naimat tasted goal in the semifinals of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup 2023 against South Korea in February. He was also named to the Asian Cup's Best 11 forwards.

Alnaimat, who along with star striker Musa Altamari, is a player who likes to get behind the defense with his pace and is very effective on the counterattack, and he used his quick feet to score the opening goal.

Midfielder Nour Aliwabdeh scored a wedge goal in the 27th minute to complete the 3-1 victory.

Jordan is Hong Myung-bok's next opponent.

On March 10, Hong Myung-bok will travel to Jordan for their third qualifying Group B match.

It will be the first rematch with Jordan since the 0-2 loss in the Asian Cup semifinals.

That semifinal was followed by a “turbulent period” for Korean soccer, starting with the sacking of former coach Jürgen Klinsmann.

South Korea, reorganized under new coach Hong Myung-bo, defeated Oman 3-1 on Sunday, led by Son Heung-min, who had a goal and two assists. 파워볼사이트 추천
