Tajikistan will take on Jordan in the quarter-final of the AFC Asian Cup at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Friday.
Tajikistan were leading 1-0 right until the 90th minute of their Round-of-16 clash against UAE when the opponents equalized. They were able to hold their heads high with a win on penalties to book their place in the quarter-final.
Jordan managed only one win in the group stage but came out victorious in a thrilling 3-1 result in the Round of 16 against Iraq. The opponents were leading 2-1 at one point before a comeback towards the end helped a 10-man Jordan get the win.
