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.
Jordan, on the other hand, had a great start as well, thrashing Malaysia 4-0 with Mahmoud Al Mardi scoring twice in the victory. However, they are not the favourites against the stronger South Koreans. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
