DPR Korea went into the tie only needing a draw to confirm top spot but O Thae Song's side didn't hold back at the Prince Mohammad Stadium.

Their relentless pressure, however, only bore fruit in the 43rd minute with midfielder An Jin Sok finding the back of the net.

Jordan, having already suffered two defeats, needed the points but their hopes were dashed when DPR Korea captain Choe Song Hun struck their second from the penalty spot in the 59th minute, with Kim Yu Jin adding gloss to the final score with his 75th minute effort.

With DPR Korea having confirmed themselves as the group winners, both Syria and Iran - tied on three points - needed victory in the race to finish as the runners-up and possibly advance to the Finals. 

Forward Mahan Alipour struck the only goal of the game in the 20th minute to seal the points and second place for Iran, who meet Jordan in their concluding tie on Sunday.

Syria face Hong Kong, China with neither in a position to overtake Iran due to their respective head-to-head records against the Central Asian side.
