Amman: Jordan thrashed Pakistan 7-0 in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round 2 Qualifier away fixture, at the Amman International Stadium Wednesday.
Jordanian Musa Al-Taamari scored a hat trick as he scored field goals in 15, 62 and 79th minutes.
Yazan Al-Naimat scored on a penalty in the 28th minute. Saed Al-Rosan struck the target in the 52nd minute, Ali Olwan in the 75th minute and Mohammad Abu Zryaq completed the tally in the 83rd minute.
After going down 0-2 in the first half, Pakistan conceded five goals in the second half including three goals in the space of eight minutes.
Danish defenders Mohammad Fazal and Abdullah Iqbal did not play the game. Fazal was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Meantime, defender Abdullah Iqbal was suspended for the crucial game following accumulated yellow cards from recent matches, as announced earlier by the PFF.
Pakistan’s journey in the qualifiers showcased a mix of victories and defeats. Pakistan clinched a 1-0 victory against Cambodia last October, marking their first-ever FIFA World Cup qualifier win in Islamabad. However, their momentum faltered with a 4-0 loss to Saudi Arabia in the subsequent round.
Last Thursday, Jordan defeated Pakistan 3-0 at the Jinnah Stadium in Islamabad during the first qualifying match between the two sides, marking Jordan’s first visit to Pakistan for a football match in 18 years.
