AL-RAYYAN, Qatar (AP) — South Korea goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo needed on-field treatment after making a save with his face to deny Jordan a near-certain goal in their Asian Cup semifinal on Tuesday.

Yazan Al Naimat looked set to fire Jordan ahead shortly before halftime at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium when weaving his way through the area and stabbing a shot at goal from about five meters out.

But even though he fired past the hands of Jo, he hit the keeper in the face at point blank range. A rebound effort from Noor Al Rawabdeh then came back off the dazed Jo’s heels as he tried to collect himself, and the danger was cleared.
