On the night of June 17, the first game of Group J took place - Argentina easily defeated Algeria, and the European team celebrated victory in the match between Austria and Jordan.

It is noted that the Austrian national team opened the scoring in the match already in the 20th minute, when Romano Schmid superbly curled the ball into the right corner from the edge of the penalty area. It is worth noting that after scoring the goal, the Austrians did not slow down the pace and regularly created dangerous moments at the opponent’s goal.

However, the Jordanian team did not stay away from the game.. At the beginning of the second half, namely in the 50th minute, Ali Olvan equalized the match, but the most interesting things awaited the spectators.

The Jordanians tried to respond with counterattacking attacks, but it was Austria who managed to increase the gap on the scoreboard. First, Marko Arnautovic scored a goal, but it was not counted due to a foul, and then Jordan defender Al-Arab cut the ball into his own goal.

Just before the end of the game, the referee added about 12 minutes, during which time the Jordan international played with a handball, which led to a penalty against Abu Laila. As a result, the score was 3:

1, and Austria is in second place in the group, while the Jordanians are in third.
