The round of 36 in the Asian region of the World Cup qualifiers has all ended, but no one expected that in the last round of the game, there was a big upset, and the Saudi team, a West Asian powerhouse that defeated Argentina in the Qatar World Cup, unexpectedly lost!

In fact, before the start of the last round of games, the suspense of qualifying for Group G has been revealed, with the Saudi Arabian team and the Jordanian team breaking through in advance and successfully getting the ticket to the round of 18, so the direct dialogue between the two teams in the last round is more like a battle of honor. Although the result of the game has nothing to do with qualifying, the two teams have not relaxed at all, and both sides are doing their best to play the main game, wanting to draw a successful end to the round of 36 with a victory.

In the latest FIFA rankings, Saudi Arabia is ranked 53rd, ranking 6th in Asia. After the Jordanian team won the Asian Cup runner-up, the ranking also soared, to 71st, ranking 10th in Asia. In the first leg of the meeting between the two teams, the away Saudi team defeated the Jordanian team 2-0, so this time the switch to the home stadium of the Saudis, not many fans are optimistic that the Jordanian team can win, but surprises often appear inadvertently!

After the start of the game, the Saudi Arabian team at home firmly controlled the initiative of the game, and in the 16th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, central defender Rajami scored with a header in the penalty area, helping the Saudi team take the lead in breaking the deadlock and taking a 1-0 lead! However, in the following games, the Saudi team did not expand the results, but the Jordanian team's counterattack began to create a threat. In the 27th minute, a pass in the Tamari penalty area hit the Saudi defender and changed the line, and the follow-up Ulwan easily sent the ball into the empty goal to help the Jordan team pull the score to 1-1!

However, the show is not over, in the first half of injury time, the Jordanian team's front-court attack caused a series of mistakes by Saudi players, Rawabid chose to shoot directly after winning the ball in front of the penalty area, the original shot was not threatening, but the ball hit the Saudi defender by mistake and flew into the net, and the Jordanian team was lucky to overtake the score! Yibian fought again, and the Saudi team, which was not willing to lag behind, launched a crazy counterattack, but in the face of the iron bucket formation of the Jordanian team, they did not find a good way to break the goal, and finally the away Jordanian team defeated the Saudi team 2-1, ending the opponent's unbeaten record in the round of 36.

The defeat of the Saudi team also directly changed the pattern of the round of 18. With Iraq on two wins in a row during the international break, they will overtake Saudi Arabia to become the new No. 6 in Asia in the latest edition of the national team rankings. And the biggest change brought about by this ranking is that in the next round of 18 draw, the Saudi team will fall from the original second bracket team to the third bracket, which means that in the draw for the round of 18, there may be a super group of death gathered by the Japanese team, the Australian team and the Saudi team, if the Chinese team is divided into such a group, the hope of qualifying will also be infinitely close to zero!

I hope that the national football team can have good luck and draw a relatively ideal group, and do not repeat the scene of relying on the help of the opponent to advance in the round of 36.
