Jordan reached their maiden AFC Asian Cup final by beating two-time winners South Korea 2-0 on Tuesday.

After a penalty call for South Korea was cancelled by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) decision in the 30th minute, the first half ended goalless at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.

Al Ahli forward Yazan Al-Naimat gave Jordan a lead in the 53rd minute, while Montpellier winger Mousa Al-Taamari made it 2-0 in the 66th minute.

Jordan will face the winner of Wednesday's Iran-Qatar semifinal clash in the final on Saturday.
