The Hull City man threaded a perfectly-weighted pass between the opposing centre backs and the Suwon Bluewings forward neatly finished past goalkeeper Amer Shafi.

Irvine fluffed a glorious chance to double the lead off Aaron Mooy's corner in the 29th minute when the ball rebounded into his feet just outside the six-yard box only for him to smash it over.

After the break Jordan coach Vital Borkelmans brought on dangerous forward Mousa Mohammed Suleiman for midfielder Ahmed Sameer Saleh.

And the change nearly worked five minutes later when he rifled a shot over the top left corner of goal from just inside the top corner of the box.

Tariq Khattab then missed a golden opportunity to level when the unmarked defender headed wide from less than five metres out.

But the hosts again went close with 10 minutes remaining when Hamza Aldaradreh rose to meet Mousa's free-kick,but Australian keeper Mat Ryan made an unbelievable low dive to deny his header.

The hosts continued to push,going close twice as the clock ticked down,and they could have snatched a point in injury time.

Aldaradreh rose to meet Yaseen Al-Bakhit's cross with only Ryan to beat,but he sent his header over and his teammates slumping to the ground.

Jordan manager Vital Borkelmans was disappointed his side were unable to capitalise.

"We put everything in our hands,we made pressure,we played nice football,we had a lot of chances,but the luck was not there,"he said.

"I'm a happy coach about my players in the second half,but we lost and everyone is disappointed."
