Jordan beat Kosovo in friendly

Pristina: Jordan scored a goal in each half to beat Kosovo 2-0 in an international friendly match at the Fadil Vokkri Stadium on Wednesday.
Jordan had a brilliant start to the match, taking the lead after 18 minutes when Baha’a Faisal made a good run before firing a shot from distance which deflected off Betim Fazliji to beat Kosovo goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
Kosovo nearly levelled the scores in the 24th minute when Valon Berisha fired a powerful free-kick just over the crossbar while Vedat Muriqi's effort two minutes later was saved by Jordan goalkeeper Yazid Abu Layla.
 
The home side went close two minutes after the break off a corner but Muriqi's attempt was denied by the crossbar.
Adnan Hamad’s side sealed the win five minutes before the end when substitute Hamza Al Dardour capitalised on a defensive slip from Mërgim Vojvoda to score with a powerful shot.
 
Jordan will next take on Belarus in Minsk on Tuesday.
