AMMAN — Jordan beat South Korea 3-2 on penalty shoot-out on Saturday to take third place in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-22 Championship hosted by Oman.

The two teams resorted to penalty shoot-out to decide the winner following a 0-0 draw in the 90-minute match that took them to a 30-minute extra time, with the two sides also failing to score, particularly the Jordanian side that wasted some good chances at the goal.

The two teams also drew 1-1 in their opening match of the championship in Group A, which was topped by Jordan. The top two spots of the championship will be decided Sunday when Saudi Arabia plays Iraq.
