JORDAN PREVIEW: TABLE TOPPERS COURTESY OF ONE GOAL
Jordan bounced back impressively after being denied three points at home against Kuwait due to a late penalty, which salvaged a 1-1 draw for the visitors. Taking on Palestine, Jordan took the lead early on before being pegged back before half time. But an excellent second half performance saw them score twice to secure a 1-3 win.
Their third goal was enough to see them top Group B due to having scored one more goal than Korea Republic. Yazan Al-Naimat scored twice for Jordan vs Palestine and he could have a big role to play again in this one.

After failing to break down Palestine despite an avalanche of pressure, Korea Republic found themselves behind the eight-ball in Group B with just a point on the board. However, that changed against Oman as they found their scoring shoes with three goals in a crucial 1-3 victory at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex.
Hee-chan Hwang opened the scoring before goals from Heung-min Son and Min-kyu Jung secured the three points inside the final ten minutes after an own goal had drawn Oman level deep into first half stoppage time.
