Quickfire Jordan 3-0 up against Palestine at halftime
 

By Dave Gray MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Two goals in two minutes helped put Jordan 3-0 up at halftime in their must-win Asian Cup Group D clash against Palestine on Friday. A stunning 33rd minute strike from Yousef Ahmad set the twice quarter-finalists on their way, before two goals from striker Hamza Al Dardour all but ended the contest. The two scorers were among four changes coach Ray Wilkins made to his side following the opening 1-0 loss to Iraq that leaves their hopes of making the last eight slim.
