Jordan will take on South Korea in the group stage of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 at Al Thumama Stadium. Both teams won their tournament openers and will be looking to secure their second win and the top spot in Group E.
Lee Kang-in scored a brace as South Korea picked up a 3-1 win over Bahrain in the first game. They have won their last seven matches in a row and will be confident of extending their run.
