Brave Jordan’s World Cup debut ends in loss to Austria

DUBAI: Jordan’s World Cup debut ended in a 3-1 loss to Austria at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on Wednesday morning, despite a brave performance that promised a potential point for the newcomers. The loss leaves the Arab nation in third place in Group J, while Austria sit second on goal difference behind Argentina, who earlier had beaten Algeria 3-0 thanks to a Lionel Messi hat trick. Jordan had started their first-ever participation in the competition in confident fashion, as if undaunted by the historical magnitude of the occasion.
