JORDAN LOSE AUSTRALIA SHOWDOWN

Jordan couldn’t repeat their heroics of their past two home meetings when they lost their crucial Asian Cup/World Cup qualifier to league leaders Australia.

A single goal in the 13th minute was enough to secure the Socceroos victory at the King Abdullah Stadium in Qweismeh.

Jordan played well, and missed three great chances to equalise in the second half, but they have slipped to third in Group B after Kuwait beat Chinese Taipei 9-0. Jordan will next play Chinese Taipei on Tuesday in Amman.
