Taipei: Lebanon fought back from a goal down to score a 2-1 win over Jordan and claim top spot in Group D of the AFC Futsal Championship 2018 on Tuesday.
Lebanon’s reward is a quarter-final tie with Iraq on Thursday. Iraq finished second in Group C.
Jordan took the lead with Abdel Samara finding the back of the net in the 13th minute, but Lebanon bounced back with Ali El Homsi finding the equaliser before the half-time whistle and Ali Tneich sealed their win with a close range effort.
Lebanon knew a win would secure them a spot in the quarter-finals, and played with the same intensity they had shown in their win against Thailand, dominating possession while Jordan looked to hit on the counter.
