Ali Olwan scored a hattrick. He marked his first goal from a penalty in the 45+7' minute of the first half, before returning to add his second and third in minutes 51' and 64' of the second half.
If Iraq loses against South Korea in the currently ongoing match. Jordan would have mathematically secured its first-ever qualification for the FIFA World Cup.
