Klinsmann operated a triangular formation with Son Heung-min (Tottenham) at the forefront and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) in charge of left and right attacks.
Hwang In-beom (Zvezda), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), and Park Yong-woo (Al Ain) formed the midfield.
Instead of Kim Min-jae (Munich), who was unable to play due to accumulated warnings, Kim Young-kwon and Jeong Seung-hyun (Ulsan) took over as central defenders.
Seol Young-woo (Ulsan) and Kim Tae-hwan (Jeonbuk) were responsible for the left and right side defenses, and the goalkeeper gloves were worn by Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan).
Jordan strongly attacked the Korean camp from the beginning.
In the 4th minute of the first half, mid-range shots by Mahmoud Almardi and Nizar Alassidan missed the goal one after another.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Noor Alawabde's shot during a Jordan counterattack was blocked by Cho Hyun-woo's save.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Korea, which was rarely able to create a threatening scene, Son Heung-min connected with a lob shot from Jeong Seung-hyun's pass from behind and split Jordan's goal, but it was ruled offside.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in completed the ball with a left-footed volley that bounced off the head of an opposing defender and soared over the goalpost.
Korea avoided conceding a goal in the 25th minute of the first half thanks to Jo Hyun-woo's save.

From the mid to late half of the first half, Korea's side came back to life.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Seol Young-woo drew a foul from Yazan Al-Arab and looked to be awarded a penalty kick, but the referee decided after a video review (VAR) that it was not a foul on Al-Arab.
On the broadcast screen, it appeared that Seol Young-woo had stepped on Al-Arab's toes.
In the 32nd minute of the first half of the first half, Korea's Lee Jae-seong headed Hwang In-beom's cross, but it hit the right post.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Jordan conceded a goal that was almost like conceding a goal to the talented Al Naimat .

Alawabde's subsequent rebound shot also hit Cho Hyun-woo's foot.
In the extra time of the first half, Seol Young-woo's ground ball cross from the left was connected to Hwang In-beom's non-stop shot, but the ball went far over the goal.
