Egypt Vs Jordan Highlights, FIFA Arab Cup: JOR Advance To Quarter-Finals With 3–0 Win

Greetings and welcome to everyone joining us this Tuesday. The last group-stage matchday of FIFA Arab Cup has five teams vying for two quarter-final slots, and among them is Egypt, who take on the already-qualified Jordan in Al Khor. Watch this space for the build-up and live updates.

The match will kick off at 8pm IST. The Egypt vs Jordan, FIFA Arab Cup clash will be live streamed on the Alkass Sports YouTube channel in India. It will not be telecast on any TV channel in the country.

Jordan are already through to the quarter-finals with two wins and six perfect points. Egypt are second with two points, while UAE and Kuwait have one apiece. With only two teams advancing to the knockouts, it's a three-way fight between Egypt, UAE and Kuwait for that second slot.

As already mentioned, UAE will face Kuwait, also at 8pm IST. All Egypt need is a win to advance to the quarter-finals, regardless of the result of the UAE vs Kuwait match. But any other result would mean wither UAE or Kuwait can overtake them to the second spot, with a win tonight.

The pre-match rituals are out of the way. The national anthems are sung and the two teams' players shake hands. Kick-off coming up next.

The match gets underway at the Al Bayt Stadium. Egypt have their destiny in their own hands, and know that an early goal would go a long way in calming their nerves.

Jordan spring to life as Mohammad Abu Hasheesh pounces in the 19th minute, slipping the ball home with the kind of calm finishing that shuts the whole stadium up for a second before it erupts. Jordan draw first blood, and suddenly the tempo jumps a notch, you can feel the confidence ripple through their passes now.

Egypt push forward with real urgency now, throwing bodies up the pitch and snapping into every loose ball as they hunt that equaliser. You can sense the desperation turning into determination, every touch feels like it could be the one that breaks Jordan open.

And just like that, the stadium tilts Jordan’s way again! In the 41st minute, Shararh bursts through and buries the second, finishing off a clever setup from Ersan A. Egypt freeze for a heartbeat, Jordan don’t, and the scoreline flips to a commanding 2–0. The noise from the Jordan end? Absolutely roaring now.

Half-time whistle goes and Jordan jog off looking like they own the night, 2–0 up, full of swagger, and barely breaking stride. Egypt head down the tunnel with a lot to fix and even more to chase. Big team talk coming their way.

In the 71st minute, Jordan make a change, Hajabi comes on, replacing Abu Dahab M. Fresh legs on the pitch as they look to maintain their lead and keep Egypt chasing.

Jordan strike again! Ali Olwan steps up and calmly converts a penalty, sending the keeper the wrong way. Score jumps to 3–0, and the Jordan fans are absolutely buzzing, Egypt now face a mountain to climb in the final minutes.

That’s a wrap! Jordan march into the quarterfinals, and we’ll be back with more live blog action soon, until then, bye bye.
