Doha: Hosts Qatar defeated Jordan 3-2 to claim top spot in Group J, sealing their berth in the AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2025 with a perfect run at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium on Sunday.
The result meant Qatar, who also defeated Singapore and Hong Kong finished as the group winners in the Qualifiers with nine points. Jordan, despite the defeat, also advanced to the Finals as one of the best five second-placed teams.
With both teams tied on six points and Jordan - thanks to a superior goal difference - only needing a draw, the stage was set for a thriller.
Qatar got off to a dream start, taking the lead in the fifth minute through Mohamed Khaled Gouda.
