Immediately after serving, Kalbouneh made a dangerous foul when he entered the ball high, hitting defender Mehrubon Karimov in the head. Immediately, referee Yahya Almulla showed a red card directly to Jordan's striker when the clock was only eight seconds.

The situation surprised the players present on the Lokomotiv field. And Kalbouneh left the field in tears.

Having to play short, but Jordan unexpectedly opened the scoring 7 minutes. Captain Mohannad Abu Taha crossed the ball from the right, grazing a Tajikistan player's head before reaching Ali Ahmad Azaizeh's position. Jordan's number 20 is the toe of the shoe within 5m50, not giving the opponent's goalkeeper a chance to save.

Jordan then stepped back to play defensively, but continued to score after a sharp attack. In the 25th minute, Azaizeh shot far, causing goalkeeper Yusupov to push the ball but to the right position of Mohannad Taha. This midfielder passes to Sief Addeen Darwish to cushion the ball close to the goal. Much time left, but Jordan stood firm against the attacks of Tajikistan to win 2-0.
