OLWAN LEADS JORDAN TO THEIR FIRST WORLD CUP ｜ Oman - Jordan ｜ Highlights #AsianQualifiers Road to 26

Both Oman and Jordan have their eyes on automatic qualification from Group B in the AFC Asian qualifiers on Matchday 9. Home side Oman have pushed themselves into contention despite an inconsistent campaign so far. Their 1-0 win against Kuwait last time out was absolutely vital. Issam Al-Sabi got the only goal there. Jordan currently sit second in the table and know a win here would put them in control of their own destiny. They picked up a huge point away from home against Korea Republic in their last match. Jordan blew Oman away 4-0 in the reverse fixture but neither side have really managed to settle in this opening phase. Oman have the possession here 19 minutes in as the first shot from Harib Al-Sadi sails over from really long range. Perhaps he was just desperate to get a shot off for Oman. And the home side are really getting some joy now. A long ball forward. And suddenly Issam Al-Sabi is sent through. Oh but he can't beat the keeper Abu Laila with his shot though. A really big chance this for Oman to take the lead against Jordan. One minute later Jordan go straight down the other end. Their first real attack here. As the shot comes in there from Al-Wad. It was just over. Saita there from the edge of the box. The 34th minute and a corner for Oman. It's swung over. But Tani Al-Rushaidi. He rose highest but he gets under the ball and heads well over the bar. Now into stoppage time. And we could see some late drama here. As Jordan tried to flood forward. That's a lovely touch there from Abu Tana. He goes on the dribble. He goes down. And the referee there gestures that he should get back to his feet. But VAR taking a look at it here. As the challenge comes in from Braiki. And it looks as though there is a touch. And indeed it is a penalty. A big moment here as Al-Wad steps up to the spot. And he calmly sends the keeper the wrong way for 1-0 to Jordan. It's a barely deserved lead perhaps. Away from home. That was the last action of the first half. Oman with it all to do in the second half. But Jordan have got the momentum in this second period. There's some slick play here as Al Naimat puts the ball in. And that is clinical from Al-Wad for his and Jordan's second. It's brilliantly constructed and Jordan sitting pretty at the top of the table as it stands. Oman trying to get back into it here. As there's a free kick. The Al-Sabi header though is really well saved by Abu Laila. A couple of minutes later. Looks as though Al-Tamari is lining up this free kick from just outside the box. It's touched onto him and deflected. And just wide. That was a really uncomfortable one for the keeper there. Into the 64th minute. And Jordan really starting to show what they can do here. As Al-Tamari is released down the right-hand side. He's in on goal. He slides it across for Al-Wad. That's his hat trick. It's 3-0 to Jordan. And surely the free points are in the bag for the away side. They tear Oman apart there. As the fans are heading home. It ends 3-0 to Jordan. All one the hat trick hero. All eyes will now be on the match between Korea Republic and Iraq. If Iraq lose, Jordan will qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
