Jordanian centre-back Yazan started in a pre-season tour friendly against Barcelona at Seoul World Cup Stadium on July 31 and played full time for 90 minutes, exerting tremendous influence over offense and defense.
Yazan, who actively marked Robert Lewandowski, Hafinya and Yamal in the back room and did not hesitate to fight with his opponents, scored a golden equalizer in the first minute of the first half when he was dragged to 1-2 points with Lewandowski's first goal (8 in the previous round), Yamal's additional goal (14 in the previous round) and Cho Young-wook's comeback goal (26 in the previous round).
When the first half's regular time was over and the extra time was announced, Yazan suddenly sprinted to the opponent's penalty area. Just in time, a well-timed pass through Lingard and Andersson was connected to Yazan, and Yazan equalized with a left-footed shot that hit the striker.

Yazan said in a post-match mixed zone interview "It was such a tough game. It was difficult to face the best team in the world. It will be a tremendous experience for our players. I've learned a lot about it."
Barcelona is one of the strongest teams to win the La Liga and Copadelay double in Spain in the 2024-2025 season. The market value of the players who started on the day is in trillions.
Yazan says "The biggest difference was movement. The movement was so perfect. I also felt that the players were connected to each other. Instead of dribbling, it was difficult to stop it as I took the movement while raising the tempo quickly with one touch and two touches."
Yazan, a key Jordanian defender, once played a friendly match with Spain's national team ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. We lost 1-3, but today was a different experience than that."

The crowd cheered in unison as they watched Yazan coolly participate in the attack. It provided a thrill to blow off the heat on a summer night. Yazan said "As a defender, scoreless is the most important thing, but at the same time, if there is a situation to score, you must actively participate in scoring. I could see the space in front of my eyes, so I went up confidently. I had faith that if I went up, someone would cover my seat. I think it will be remembered as a glorious goal."
Yazan had one extra goal opportunity in the second half, but unfortunately failed to score. Yazan said "I could have scored two goals today, but I'm sorry I couldn't finish." bemoaned.
There is no 'free lunch'. Yazan's score is the result of a long effort. Yazan, who is going to do the rest of the shooting training with the strikers after training, said "I really want to say this. I always win."
