A fiery international friendly in Antalya, Turkey, saw Jordan and Nigeria battle to a dramatic 2-2 draw, a result overshadowed by a chaotic finish that included a red card for Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi and a flurry of late bookings.
The match ignited early, with Jordan taking a surprising lead in the 17th minute. Mousa Tamari, assisted by Noor Al Rawabdeh, found the back of the net with a left-footed strike from the centre of the box, sending the Jordan fans into raptures. However, Nigeria, boasting a strong squad, quickly responded. Just eight minutes later, Moses Simon levelled the score, slotting home a right-footed shot from close range.
