00:00It's the second match in Group J at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
00:05with an historic night for Austria and Jordan.
00:08Austria back at the World Cup after a 28-year absence.
00:12Sasha Kolejic leads Austria's attack.
00:16To action in April after a year out with an Achilles injury.
00:24Austria get us underway then in the second match of the day in Group J.
00:29Austria in the red shirts and black shorts kicking from left to right in this opening half.
00:36Jordan in the all-white.
00:38Philipp Lienhardt with the long throw.
00:41Don't keep us thought about coming for it and just got there in the end.
00:46And now a chance maybe it's two against one.
00:49Almutani, if he can work it across to the far side, there might be hope for Jordan here.
00:55Austria back in numbers though.
00:58A little touch on.
01:00Will it fall to space in the far side?
01:02It does, but it's into the side netting from Haddad.
01:07Just when the discussion's going to be about how Jordan are going to contain Austria,
01:13they go then on the counter.
01:16Lienhardt.
01:20Chasel here for Almutani.
01:22Did he kick that ball in?
01:24Flank stayed down on this near side, did it?
01:26No, it didn't.
01:27Eventually it is raised.
01:30Quickly taken and a bit of space here.
01:33Lima looking to pull that one back into the middle.
01:39Desperate defending here from Jordan and they will be relieved that they have a free kick in their favour.
01:47Referee.
01:48What he thought the decision may be.
01:53Zabitza.
01:56Benet on the overlap.
01:58Zabitza's ball in.
02:00Almost met there by Kolaidzic.
02:08Zabitza.
02:11Zabitza.
02:12Zabitza.
02:13Zabitza with the header down.
02:14And it's put behind for a corner kick.
02:19Further ahead so he can go and attack it towards goal.
02:23The option only offers him the chance to try and find a team-mate.
02:26Three.
02:30Zabitza with a shot.
02:32Well ticked over.
02:35Well it's the deflection that makes this an even more impressive save, isn't it?
02:39Schlager.
02:40Slate adjustment to his left-hand side.
02:46Schlager lays it wide.
02:48Weiner.
02:55Schmit.
02:58Lima.
03:01Zabitza makes the line.
03:02The run ahead.
03:03Schmit.
03:04Schmit with the shot.
03:06And Romano Schmit has put Austria in front with a terrific strike from distance.
03:15The possession, the crispness of Austrians passing and then as and when a gap appears and it's
03:22only a small gap.
03:24White battle his way through the run through the run through the middle is being made here by Lima.
03:36Lima goes down.
03:37Austria fans appealing for a whistle in their favour.
03:50Schmitzler.
03:50The rebound is blocked from Altamadi.
03:54Jordan flooding forward in great numbers and that great pace
03:58They're finding gaps in the Austrian defence
04:00It's a strong save from Schlager
04:02It's an even better block in the follow-up
04:04Maybe if there was a shout of over or a step over at the near post
04:08It creates a shot around the penalty spot
04:12Posh penalised
04:23It was needless, wasn't it, from Stefans?
04:27Taken short
04:28Long range shot could have gone anywhere really from Altamari
04:32As we go into a minimum of four minutes additional time at the end of this first half
04:37Picked up by Alruabde
04:44Well, it's a lovely run here
04:48But the shot couldn't match the build-up
04:52Showing tenacity
04:53Real power on the ball
04:55Shrugging off not one, but two
04:57Of the Austrians
04:59Picked up by Zabitsa
05:02Kalijic
05:05Ambitious
05:05From that distance
05:08But what it does do
05:10Is almost certainly herald the half-time whistle
05:13Which is blown by our referee
05:15A thrilling first half
05:18Played at such pace
05:20Romano Schmidt there
05:21With the only goal
05:23And what a goal it was as well
05:26Jordan responded well
05:27But at the break
05:28It is Austria one
05:29Jordan nil
05:34Jordan get the second half started
05:36They're in all white
05:38They're in all white
05:38Kicking from left to right
05:43Schlager
05:48Aruabde releasing that ball on that far side
05:52All one
05:54All one
05:54All one
05:55All one
05:55Off the pace and in
05:56And Jordan a level
05:59Ali all one
06:01And it's one one
06:04Well if you thought the first goal was a treat
06:07The discussion about whether Jordan would have the firepower
06:10Given the key men are missing
06:11Coming into this FIFA World Cup
06:13Has been resolutely answered hasn't it
06:18Al Rashdan
06:19Al Rashdan
06:21All one
06:21Bit of space on this near side
06:23Haddad
06:25Well the low ball into the middle
06:27Perhaps didn't go as quickly as it should have done
06:30It seems to be
06:31It's a goal to Austria's six
06:33Four on target
06:34It just shows just what they are capable of
06:37Zabetsa
06:38Plenty in the middle
06:39It's just above
06:40And now Tovec
06:41And Posh with the shot
06:42Couldn't keep it down
06:44Since he's been on the pitch in the second half
06:46Just lifted up to the back
06:48A little glance
06:50Dancer
06:54Zabetsa
06:56Lima
06:57It's an awkward one for the goalkeeper
06:59And he's gone down in the penalty air
07:00Referee sees nothing wrong with the challenge
07:02And the shot from Chuck Wilmaker is blocked
07:06And Jordan survived
07:09And the referee
07:10Deflected cross into the box
07:11It's Arnautovic that comes and attempts the challenge
07:14I don't think it's him that gets anywhere near the goalkeeper
07:18Great block afterwards though
07:19Defending needed to be done
07:21The arm there isn't it
07:23Marko Arnautovic
07:26Zabetsa
07:27Drives it low
07:29That should go behind for a corner
07:31And indeed it does
07:36Salim Obeid
07:37Is going to come on for Jordan
07:39But
07:39He's a defender
07:40But perhaps
07:45Curling in towards the goalkeeper
07:46He didn't really get a firm enough punch on it
07:48And it's been turned in
07:51Marko Arnautovic for Austria
07:55We saw one a minute ago with Arnautovic
07:58Up against Abu Leila
08:01That isn't a foul
08:02El Arab's the man that's closest to him as he comes out to try and punch the ball
08:06Kevin Danso gets nothing on it
08:07The chance for Marko Arnautovic to hit the back of the net
08:11Attacker number 5
08:13From Austria
08:14Handed the ball
08:15Before the goal
08:16Final decision
08:17Foul
08:21That'll be a corner
08:25It's in
08:27And this time it will count
08:30From Marko Arnautovic
08:35And there will be the first yellow card of the match
08:39Resulting from it
08:42Here it is again
08:45It's just a bit of a mess isn't it, isn't it?
08:47From Jordan's point of view
08:49Al Arab who's done so many, many good things defensively
08:53Comes off his back, not even his head does it?
09:01Cushion
09:01Goes for Marcel Sabica
09:05In the aftermath of that goal
09:11Banner
09:11Little bit of space opening up in front of him
09:13Can't find an out of itch
09:16Oh, it's an off the ball collision there
09:21It's nothing other than an inadvertent clash of heads, is it really?
09:25And for Jordan and their supporters
09:27It will be most welcome news because
09:30We're going to have a minimum of 10 minutes
09:33Additional time
09:35Vanna
09:37Arnautovic
09:38It's Marko Arnautovic
09:39Denied by Abu Leila
09:42Well, there's no mere Austrian footballing mortal, is he?
09:45Marko Arnautovic
09:46He's got to score this
09:53He makes the challenge, but it's an illegal one
09:55Free kick Jordan
10:00I think Stefan Posch possibly making
10:06Firmly away by Leinhardt
10:10Nice little turn there from
10:12Aziezar
10:13And it's only just wide, the resulting shot
10:18Romana Schmidt
10:19And Ali Olwan
10:20Two of the goals of the tournament so far
10:25Sabica
10:27Hanging it in the air
10:28Arnautovic
10:29Chakumejka
10:31Arnautovic
10:31Vima
10:33Arnautovic
10:35Inadvertently touched across goal by the defender
10:37It's out for a corner
10:41The ball across here from Arnautovic
10:45That looks pretty deliberate
10:50Defender number 17
10:52Handle the ball
10:53Final decision
10:54Pelasiu
10:56And Arnautovic
10:58And Arnautovic makes it 3-1
10:59It's victory for Austria
11:02In their opening group J match
11:04It's defeat for Jordan in their first ever FIFA World Cup match
11:09World Cup is for a team that's qualified
11:12And a team that's come here
11:15And that is it, is it?
11:18Yes it is!
11:19We hardly had time to restart
11:23On a history making day for Jordan
11:27It is Austria who take the win
11:30A thoroughly entertaining evening
11:33Has finished Austria 3, Jordan 1
11:36And that will be a fun man
11:36It was just a few days
11:37You can't remember that
11:37A lot of people are taking all the seats
11:37Something like watching
11:37And you can see there are good mornings
11:37Or there are many of those people
11:37Of course
11:37They give us...
