DOHA (Reuters) - South Korea and Jordan are both prepared for their Asian Cup semi-final to go the distance if required with extra time and penalties, the two teams' coaches said on Monday after they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the group stage.

Although Hussein Ammouta's Jordan reached the semi-finals with wins over Iraq and debutants Tajikistan in normal time, South Korea have had a bruising journey to the last four against Asian heavyweights Saudi Arabia and Australia.
