Reuters: Hamza Aldaradreh scored four as Jordan recorded a first win under head coach Ray Wilkins by brushing aside Palestine 5-1 on Friday (16 January) to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Asian Cup quarter-finals. A stunning 33rd minute strike from Yousef Ahmad set the twice quarter-finalists on their way before Aldaradreh took charge to end Palestinian hopes of picking up their first ever points in the Asian Cup. The victory put Jordan level on three points with holders Japan and Iraq, who meet later on Friday, ahead of their tough Group D finale against the Samurai Blue.
