Al-Hussein Amouta, the coach of the Jordanian national team, entered into a crisis with his player Hamza Al-Dardour during Jordan's match against Iraq, which ended with Al-Nashama winning 3-2.
The problem began after Jordanian defender Yazan Al-Arab succeeded in equalizing in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
After the goal, Al-Dardour went to celebrate in front of the Iraqi national team’s bench, which Amouta rejected, so he pushed the player and clashed with him verbally, so the player responded, before the confrontation referee decided to show the player the red card after the fourth official revealed to him the details of what happened.

Al-Dardour did not participate in the Iraq match, and remained on the bench.
Al-Dardour is considered one of the most prominent strikers of the Jordanian national team, who scored 35 goals in the “Nashama” shirt and is their top scorer in the Asian Cup tournaments with 4 goals.
The Jordanian team qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament by defeating Iraq 3-2, setting up a match with Tajikistan next Friday at the “Ahmed Bin Ali” World Cup Stadium.
