Soccer-'Jordanian Messi' Al-Taamari key to their hopes in Asian Cup final

DOHA (Reuters) - Few would have picked Jordan's Musa Al-Taamari to be one of the standout players at the Asian Cup in Qatar but the energetic forward has lit up the tournament and helped guide his side into their first ever final.

Jordan qualified for the knockout stages as one of the four best third-placed teams but since they entered the last 16, they have charted a spectacular rise with Montpellier winger Al-Taamari leading from the front.
