In the 65th minute, when the score was 0-0, Jordan's two central defenders drifted out for Murad Alfaluji to cut the opponent's error. However, Jordan's goalkeeper made a big mistake, when he kicked the ball into the head of teammate Yousef Hassan Hussein. The ball bounces to Bae Jun-ho's position. The South Korean No. 10 did not miss this gift, with a shot past the goalkeeper and defender to open the scoring.

Before this goal, Korea played hard against Jordan. This match, the kimchi team made seven changes in the starting lineup compared to the opening match against Oman 4-0 and immediately had problems in the gameplay. The whole first half they could not organize any dangerous phases.

It wasn't until the first minute of the second half that Korea had the first clear opportunity to score, when Park Chang-woo stretched from the right to Lee Seung-won to run and finish. However, goalkeeper Murad Alfaluji was able to save the ball by punching the ball.

After opening the lucky score, Korea found a goal thanks to Kang-Seong-jin's flash of light. In the 71st minute, the number 11 dribbled past the pursuit of two opposing players, turned his legs like Cristiano Ronaldo and put the ball into the top corner of the goal to beat goalkeeper Murad Alfaluji.

With six points, Korea maintains the top position of Group C. They have scored 6 goals and have not conceded a single time. In the final round, Korea will meet Tajikistan, on March 8.

However, the last time they won the throne was in 2012, when they drew Iraq 1-1 after 120 minutes and won 4-1 in the penalty shootout in the final. At the last time the Asian U20 tournament was held - in Indonesia in 2018 - Korea entered the final match but lost 1-2 to Saudi Arabia.
