Lebanon U17 Women produced a dominant performance to crush Jordan Women U17 5-0 in the WAFF WU17 Championship at the start of the 2026 tournament. The emphatic victory underlined Lebanon’s attacking potency and defensive discipline, while Jordan will need to regroup quickly after a difficult opening fixture.

Match Overview

Played on 25 July 2026 under the floodlights of a neutral venue in the West Asian Football Federation region, the match saw Lebanon seize control from the first whistle. Their high press and quick transitions overwhelmed the Jordanian backline, leading to an early breakthrough and a steady flow of goals throughout the 90 minutes.

Key Moments

• Early opener: Lebanon’s forward pounced on a loose ball inside the box inside the 8th minute, slotting calmly past the goalkeeper for 1-0.
• Second goal before half-time: A well-worked corner routine saw Lebanon double the lead in the 34th minute, heading home from close range.

• Fourth and fifth goals: Two more strikes in the 67th and 79th minutes — including a long-range effort and a clinical penalty — completed the rout.

Standout Performers

Defensively, Lebanon’s centre-back pairing neutralised Jordan’s sporadic attacks, ensuring the clean sheet was never seriously threatened.

For Jordan, the goalkeeper made several sharp saves to keep the score from escalating further, but her teammates struggled to build sustained pressure in the final third.
