And Son gives the lead to Korea in 92nd minute front the penalty spot , 3-2 for Korea 

[thepharoah 2,405]

Malaysia ties the game in 90+15 minute , this game is very weird 

[thepharoah 2,405]

The ball in KSA pitch now to gift Thailand the pride of facing Korea 

[thepharoah 2,405]

So this drama finally ends , Korea ties with Malaysia 3-3 , Bahrain will face Japan as they top the group , Korea will face either KSA or Thailand and Joran will face Iraq or Qatar

[MHSN 3,613]

what a crazy match, Korea tried hard to score two late goals and took the lead but then Malaysia tied the match in minute 90+15  which wasn't that bad for KOR, they avoided Japan but got KSA (most probably) instead

 

sooo if we beat Syria (which won't be easy at all) we will get Japan in the QF. 

 

 

and btw, ugly match from Jordan  they lost intentionally, the 2nd half was hard to watch

And Jordan still gets on fire Iraq , all scenarios were harsh for Group E teams , Japan put them in serious trouble 

[thepharoah 2,405]

Oman is the most unlucky team in the world , all Arab teams including Palestine qualify to next round , but they are out and they were qualifying until last 10 minutes , also they accepted a very late goal against KSA in the 1st match which would have been enough now to qualify with 

[MHSN 3,613]

so, now we know the bracket

 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 vs 

 

AFC 5 big teams are in two quarters which means only 2 of them can advance to the semifinal. 

 

KSA/KOR is the biggest match here.

OMG ! Iraq was leading 2-1 until 95th munite and they lost at the end against Jordan 3-2 , I didn't watch the match but the top scorer of Asian Cup Ayman Hussein received red card after scoring the 2nd goal , do u know why he was red booked @MHSN , I thought at the beginning he forgot and took his shirt , but that wasn't the case  very harsh loss for Iraq , very big dissapoimtment

yeah that match is a hot topic here, specially because the ref is Iranian (I mean was Iranian, Faghani now represents Australia)

 

he probably tried to mock the Jordanians, trying the same goal celebration they did but some of his actions might be considered offensive. I wouldn't gave him a second yellow but Faghani is known for these kind of decisions. once he even changed the Iranian league Champion by a similar red card.

 

well that was like 2015 Iran-Iraq match, Iran was leading 1-0 comfortably but the Australian ref sent off a player (I say wrongly) and that changed the match, Iran had to play 90 minutes with one man down and the match ended 3-3 (Iraq won on penalties) 

 

what goes around comes around, Iraqis can't complain about this.
