South Korea snatch dramatic Asian Cup draw with Jordan

But Jordan did not crack and were rewarded for their constant pressure in the 37th minute when South Korea's Park Yong-Woo headed the ball into his own net from a corner.

Jordan were denied a penalty in first-half added time when Musa Al-Taamari was brought down as he was bearing down on goal, but seconds later Yazan Al-Naimat made it 2-1 when he unleashed a half-volley from outside the box into the bottom corner.

South Korea upped the ante after the break but it took 45 minutes before they finally found an equaliser when Hwang In-beom's shot was turned into the net by Jordan centre back Al-Arab.

The result leaves both teams on four points from two games. Bahrain and Malaysia, who lost their opening games, were playing the other group encounter later on Saturday.
