Buriram: Jordan head coach Ahmed Abu Ismail expressed his disappointment with his side’s goalless draw against Vietnam on Matchday Two of the AFC U23 Championship Thailand 2020 Group D on Monday.
Coming off the back of a 2-1 win against DPR Korea, Jordan were in complete control throughout the first hour of the Vietnam tie, but were unable to take their chances.
The introduction of Ha Duc Chinh in the second half offered Vietnam renewed energy in front, but Abu Ismail’s men weathered a late avalanche of attacks to hold on for a 0-0 draw and collect their fourth point of the campaign.

Songkhla: Their AFC U23 Championship Thailand 2020 knockout stage hopes may be hanging by a thread, but Islamic Republic of Iran wide man Ali Shojaei refuses to give up on a place in the last eight.
Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Korea Republic means Team Melli Omid must beat eliminated China PR on Wednesday, and hope the Koreans beat Uzbekistan on the other side of the country, if they are to have any chance of continuing their campaign into a second week.
Early elimination would dash Iran’s hopes of ending their much-discussed 44-year Olympic football qualification drought, and Shojaei told the-AFC.com he has no intention of giving up on his Tokyo dream until the chance is gone.
