Zarqa City: Jordan overcame the setback of going behind as they advanced to the AFC U-19 Championship 2018 by winning Group E of the Qualifiers at the Prince Mohammad International Stadium on Wednesday.
Jordan and Syria went into the tie in the knowledge that whoever won the match would seal the automatic ticket to the Finals.
Given what was at stake, both teams opted for a cautious approach and the first half ended scoreless.
That changed nine minutes into the second half as Mohamad Al Hallak gave Syria the lead.
Undeterred by the setback, Jordan increased their tempo and the equaliser came just four minutes later as Mohammad Wa'el Alzu'bi hit their equaliser.
The home team kept pressing and Oomar Hani Alzebdieh scored the winner in the 73rd minute to seal Jordan a 2-1 win and a place in the Finals.
