Jordan’s Musab Al Lahham levelled with a header in the 57th minute.

The result enables Jordan to keep its unbeaten streak in the qualifiers for a place in the finals in Australia in 2015.

Jordan is now second in Group A with four points, two less than Oman, which defeated Singapore 2-0 on Wednesday.

Syria is third with only one point, while Singapore is at the bottom of the table with no points.
