After playing out a thrilling 2-2 draw against each other in the group stage, South Korea and Jordan are set to meet again in the Asian Cup semifinal in Qatar.
Both teams are ready to go the distance, if required, with extra time and penalties, their coaches said on Monday.
Although Hussein Ammouta’s Jordan reached the semifinals with wins over Iraq and debutants Tajikistan in normal time, South Korea have had a bruising journey to the last four against Asian heavyweights Saudi Arabia and Australia.
Jurgen Klinsmann’s side needed a penalty shootout to beat Saudi Arabia before forcing extra time against Australia in the quarterfinals, playing 120 minutes on both occasions compared to a well-rested Jordan.
