In a surprising turn of events in the FIFA World Cup Qualifying - AFC, Jordan convincingly defeated Oman 3-0 at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex. The match, held on June 5, 2025, saw a dominant performance from Jordan, spearheaded by Ali Olwan's hat-trick (45'+7' Pen, 51', 64'). This result defied pre-game AI predictions, which favored an Oman win, and labeled the match as expected to be balanced.
Oman, despite controlling the majority of possession (59.3%), struggled to convert their opportunities, managing only two shots on target out of ten total shots. Jordan, with 40.7% possession, proved more clinical, putting four of their nine shots on target. The defensive formations were distinct, with Oman opting for a 5-4-1 and Jordan employing a 3-4-3, which seemed to provide Jordan with the attacking edge.
Analyzing the game stats, Jordan committed more fouls (13) than Oman (10), but received fewer yellow cards (1 vs. 2). This suggests a more disciplined approach from the Jordanian side despite the higher foul count. Oman's goalkeeper only had to make one save, highlighting the effectiveness of Jordan's finishing.
Looking at Oman's recent form, they had mixed results, including friendly wins against Lebanon (1-0) and Niger (4-1), but a crucial away win against Kuwait (1-0) in World Cup Qualifying. Their upcoming match against Palestine will be crucial for them to bounce back. Palestine have been inconsistent with a recent win against Iraq (2-1) but also losing to Jordan (3-1) and drawing against South Korea (1-1) and Kuwait (2-2). Oman have had a good record agains Palestine, winning previous encounters.
Jordan's form is also mixed, with a recent loss to Saudi Arabia (2-0) in a friendly, a draw against South Korea (1-1), and a win against Palestine (3-1). Their upcoming match against Iraq will be a tough test. Iraq have also been inconsistent, losing to Palestine (2-1) and drawing with Kuwait (2-2). Head to head history shows balanced results between Jordan and Iraq.
Considering previous games, Oman's recent form has been somewhat better than Jordan's, but Jordan's clinical finishing in this match was the deciding factor. The previous head-to-head record shows that Jordan had dominated Oman in their last match (4-0), so this win might be a continuation of that trend. Jordan's victory can be attributed to superior finishing and a tactical setup that exploited Oman's defensive vulnerabilities. Oman needs to address their attacking woes and defensive solidity to perform better in their upcoming matches.
