AL-RAYYAN, Qatar, Feb 7, (AP): Up against one of the pre-tournament favorites, Jordan reached the final of the Asian Cup for the first time after stunning South Korea 2-0 .
Yazan Al Naimat and Mousa Tamari struck in the second half at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium to upset the odds and end coach Jurgen Klinsmann's hopes of adding another major trophy to his collection.
"I believe the main thing I told my players was not to respect the South Korean team more than you should,” Jordan coach Hussein Ammouta said afterward. "I think this gave my players that confidence.
"We had nothing to lose.”

South Korea, meanwhile, is left rue a missed opportunity as its wait for a third Asian Cup title goes on."The coach is always responsible for how a tournament goes for a team. The goal was to get to the final. We didn’t get to the final,” said Klinsmann, South Korea's coach who as a player helped West Germany win the World Cup in 1990. "We couldn’t use our chances. We congratulate Jordan. They deserve to be in the final.”
