Attention now turns to the second round of the Pro League, amid the dramatic swings produced by the opening round's results.
Al-Jazeera goes into this round riding a wave of confidence after stunning the football world with a clean five-goal rout of the defending champions, and will look to prove that fast start was no fluke. Shabab Al-Ordon, for their part, know the task ahead is a tough one, but are chasing their first three points of the season after opening with a draw against Al-Ramtha.
The defending champions find themselves under heavy fan pressure to win back their supporters and put that harsh defeat behind them, with Al-Hussein left with no option but victory to restore confidence. On the other side, Al-Buqaa go into their match in high spirits after an opening 1-0 win over Doqara, hoping to exploit the champions' disarray and come away with a positive result to build on their own strong start.
Al-Faisaly are chasing their first win of the season and a full three points to affirm their strong presence in the title race, after drawing the derby against Al-Wehdat. Newly promoted Doqara, meanwhile, face their toughest test yet so early in the season, hoping to pull off an upset against Jordanian football's giant club, or at least escape with a draw to limit the damage.
Al-Ramtha's fans are eagerly awaiting a match they hope will help the club move past the administrative and technical troubles swirling around it, by securing their first win against Al-Arabi. Al-Arabi, newly promoted and backed by some strong signings that have fans hoping for a positive turnaround, are looking to bounce back from their opening setback and prove they can go toe-to-toe with the league's established clubs.
Al-Salt have presented themselves as one of the league's steadiest sides after an impressive performance and a deserved win over Al-Arabi, and will look to keep that winning form going and put Al-Ahli (the "Greens") in an uncomfortable spot. Al-Wehdat, meanwhile, have no alternative but to win, both to appease fans still frustrated by their opening-round draw and to move into title contention early via the daunting "Al-Raheeb" gate.
