AMMAN — The women’s national football team beat Uzbekistan 2-0 to reach Round 2 of the Asian qualifiers — the first phase of the qualifying journey to the 2016 Summer Olympics football tournament.

Jordan opened the Group A qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Hong Kong before beating Palestine 6-0. Other teams competing are Myanmar, India, Bahrain and Sri Lanka in Group B, and Taiwan, Iran and Laos in Group C.

The three group leaders advance to join Vietnam and Thailand in Round 2, from which the top team will move to Round 3 to play the top five seeded teams — Japan, Australia, South Korea, North Korea and China — which eventually qualifies the top two to represent Asia at the Olympic Games.
