Jordan Cup quarterfinals resume Wednesday

AMMAN — The last matches on the local football agenda kick off when the 34th Jordan Cup quarterfinals resume on Wednesday. Shabab Urdun face Hussein after they won 2-0 in Leg 1, while Wihdat play That Ras after a 1-1 draw. So far in the Jordan Cup, Ramtha moved to the semis after eliminating Faisali. They lost 1-0 and won by the same score before advancing 5-4 on penalties. Baqaa beat Sheikh Hussein 5-2 and 2-0 to advance. Wihdat coach Mahmoud Shilbayeh, whose team won the league last week, said the players are in their best form.  “We are in high spirits and although some players were on duty with the national and Olympic squads and we drew in our first match, we aim to keep up our results and play for a win,” he was quoted by the local media as saying.
