Three-times champions Saudi Arabia were dumped out of the Asian Cup on Thursday after an error from goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah gifted Jordan a surprise 1-0 victory.

It was another disappointing display by the Saudis, who showed no improvement under coach Nasser Al Johar after he stepped in to replace sacked Portuguese Jose Peseiro following the shock opening defeat by Syria.

“I respect Al Johar and the Saudi team but our winning over the Saudi team is a big accomplishment for the Jordan team,” coach Adnan Hamed told reporters.
