Match Report
The Socceroos have started their AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019™ campaign with a defeat, going down to Jordan 1-0 at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium on Sunday night.
Despite dominating for large periods, Graham Arnold’s side were undone by Anas Bani Yaseen’s first-half header.
Australia laid siege to Jordan’s goal after the break but were continually denied what would have been a deserved equaliser by some desperate defending.
