Nizar Al-Rashdan gave Jordan the lead in the 36th minute after he fired a low shot that landed in the left corner of goalkeeper Luca Zidane, who was unable to catch the ball.
At the beginning of the second half, Algeria pressed in an attempt to achieve an equaliser, amid Jordan’s steadfastness, but substitute Nadhir Ben Bouali succeeded in scoring with a header after a corner kick in the 68th minute, before coach Vladimir Petkovic’s team continued to excel in executing corner kicks, with Jouiri scoring the winning goal in the 82nd minute. The goal was awarded after a video technology review.
Algeria raised its score to 3 points, lagging behind Austria on goal difference, as defending champion Argentina leads the group with six points, while the Jordanian national team suffered its second loss, placing it at the bottom of the standings.
