Full time 1-1.
We’re still in First Place on 4 points with a +2 goal difference.
Jordan beat Kuwait 1-0, so they move into 2nd place on 4 points like us, although only on a +1 GD.
Iraq are in third, so if they beat Kuwait in the final round of the group stage, we need to win or at the very least draw against Jordan.
Ludicrous from Kuol.
Pretty poor game so far against Jordan. Barely given Kuol a touch. Lots of ineffective possession and Jordan diving and time wasting.
Up 1-0 thanks to a Najjarine penalty
So an arm is the stomach is red but an elbow to the head is yellow?
Elbow to the head is a yellow but to the ribs is red.
Done. A bit lucky but ground it out.
Looks like we play Turkmenistan next
Can’t see the red card. Some great performances from current and former CCM players: Kuol, Miller, Nisbet, and Farrell (who had a hard time of it on the left). Current A League players looked up to the standard of those playing overseas too. Pleased to see Yaz do so well too.
Not sure what was in Wood’s head. Came off the bench late and we really needed him to work hard defending from the front after the red card but he was doing his best Mark Bridge-final-season-at-SFC impression of walking/slow jogging around as if his feet were covered in blisters.
And great defensive coaching by Morgan et al.
Thought Francois was excellent defensively, Yazbek good also. Both struggled to be progressive though and Yaz turned over the ball two or three times in bad situations. They weren’t helped by the front four just being really poor though. Constantly turning the ball over cheaply with poor control and bad decisions.
We got lucky with the penalty. The call on the keeper seemed a bit harsh and both hits by Najjarine were poor. Keeper got a hand to the second one but it was a bit stronger.
Bility was probably the pick of the back four.
Good mentality in the team to grind out two results with 10 men.
That poor commentator has never seen a scorpion goal before.
Is the game against Turkmenistan on tonight? Is it on Paramount?
Yes. 11pm
They’ve got the entire tournament if you’re keen
That front four was really poor last game. Thought it would get some refresh.
More Wood!
Who did Najjarine root to even make the squad?
