Borkelmans said Jordan totally dominated the match and did everything possible to find the elusive goal, with the goalless draw at the Amman International Stadium following their 2-1 over Chinese Taipei last month.
“Our players did everything in football,” said Borkelmans. “The players tried their best to score, especially in the second period, but we failed to win.
“Of course we wanted the three points. “However, we failed to score and we are disappointed.”

The Belgian, however, said the outcome wasn't all bad.
“At the moment, we have four points from two matches and we will be playing against Nepal next Tuesday so things are still on. We still have a lot to play for and our chances are still alive," concluded Borkelmans.
For Kuwait, it was a point gained and, more importantly, an indication that the team had stabilised following the 3-0 defeat to Australia. The West Asians had opened with a 7-0 win over Nepal in their bid to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023.
Interim coach Thamer Enad was satisfied with the result as his side are currently in second place on four points.
“I’m happy with the result,” said Enad, who replaced Croatian Romeo Jozak. “I want to thank the players for the performance that they produced.
“A draw with Jordan in Amman and in front of their fans is a good result and hopefully we can improve in the next matches."
