00:00Jordan and Algeria are aiming to join the Group J leaders.
00:03Argentina in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
00:07Jordan lost to Austria and their World Cup debut.
00:10Algeria also returning home after the group stage.
00:13If Algeria lose tonight, then they can still go through.
00:17It's the second match for both Jordan and Algeria
00:21as they meet in Group J at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
00:25With a total of 248 caps between them,
00:28Jordan haven't won in their last six matches.
00:31After his performance in the defeat to Argentina,
00:34Nabil Benteleb dropping to the bench.
00:39Jordan in all red tonight, get us underway
00:44on a very cool, almost chilly evening at the Bay Area Stadium.
00:52Algeria in the all-white with the green trimming,
00:56both sides having lost their opening Group J fixtures.
01:04Argentina, Shebe again, lovely turn.
01:07Goueri, Goueri into the side netting.
01:10Seeing Jordan have a chance, it seems to have woken Algeria up,
01:13doesn't it?
01:13Down the left-hand side is where they're really attacking.
01:15Goueri, a little drop of the shoulder which allowed in time and space inside the Jordanian
01:2018-yard box, drags it though, down to the right.
01:26Nicely done, Belgari. Can he get the ball across? He can't.
01:34Challenge comes in from Mahrez.
01:39Algeria bring it away, Mahrez.
01:44Almost turned into trouble there in the
01:47shape of Almaty and now a chance maybe for Jordan to break.
01:51It's one against three though.
01:54He's looking for support, Altamari and he finds it now from Olwan.
01:59Altamari might have a go from here and he does.
02:04It's the first real shot in anger, isn't it? From Jordan's point of view.
02:07Altamari, Zerouki is a man that's dictating play at the base of the Algerian midfield.
02:13He's seen plenty of the ball once again.
02:15And here he is, Zerouki.
02:18Looking for Ait Nouri on this near side.
02:21An awkward bounce.
02:23Ait Nouri able to get it across and gathered by Abou Leyla.
02:30The 3-1 defeat to Austria.
02:32Ball over the top, the flag stays down.
02:34It's Mahrez. It's Mahrez for Algeria.
02:37He couldn't quite get it out from underneath his feet.
02:40Went into a bit of a spat with his opposite number about whether the ball should have
02:44should have gone out of play.
02:45However, that first touch from Riyad Mahrez was exquisite.
02:47The rest of it...
02:50Olwan will have a go, did he?
02:52He certainly thought about it and he thinks about it now.
02:56Zidane, grateful to make the save because Altamari was following up just in case.
03:01Well, Altamari is making the point to Olwan that he wants the ball whipped in
03:04with a cross rather than a shot from distance.
03:08We've got some very experienced players in the squad.
03:13Zerouki.
03:16Mahrez.
03:18Corner kick won by Shebe.
03:22As it comes off, looking like an in-swinging corner.
03:25That is going to be heading towards goal.
03:27Goalkeeper comes through.
03:28It doesn't quite get there, possibly in the manner that he would have liked.
03:34A little flick from Goweri.
03:36Here's Goweri again.
03:38Can he get the shot away?
03:39He can.
03:40It's straight at Abulela.
03:48The ball over the top is a good one towards Riyad Mahrez.
03:51Mahrez, can he apply the finishing touch?
03:53It's deflected wide and behind for the corner.
03:56And no wonder the Jordanian defenders are rushing towards Abulela.
04:01Is it a case of a goalkeeper standing up and Riyad Mahrez should...
04:05Algeria supporters howling for a free kick.
04:08But neither the assistant on this near side nor the referee.
04:12At all convinced.
04:13Picked up by Abutaha.
04:15Abutaha wants more.
04:19The little pullback.
04:21Missed Q and diverted towards goal.
04:23And in by Nizar Al-Rashtan.
04:29Jordan in front.
04:32For the very first time at a FIFA World Cup.
04:39Ben Sabayani doesn't look fit.
04:41Ait Nouri doesn't look fit.
04:44And Jordan quite clearly and deservedly have capitalized on it.
04:50The question might come once again.
04:53Al-Rashtan's attempt at goal.
04:55Is it powerful enough to really beat Zidane from there?
04:59It's a missed kick first and foremost which turns into an inadvertent assist.
05:04That once again is a very very soft wrist isn't it by the Algerian goalkeeper.
05:10Yes there's a bit of pace to it with the outside of the right foot.
05:15Is it enough to take it beyond the goalkeeper into the back of his net?
05:19At this level?
05:20I wouldn't say so.
05:22Jordan don't care how it goes in though.
05:25They've deservedly in the last few moments taking the lead.
05:33Looked up here by Almadi.
05:35Ball over the top.
05:37Altamari racing onto it.
05:38Altamari beaten to it.
05:41By the covering defender.
05:45Belgari.
05:48Mares.
05:50Just caught.
05:52By Almadi.
05:56It's only a handful of times you've seen Riyad Mahrez.
06:00Front of his opposite number a drop the shoulder.
06:02Almadi that time was the one that sucks in.
06:05The little tap.
06:06The Algerian captain's legs.
06:12Mares whips that in.
06:14Goalkeeper with a firm punch away.
06:16And that's a foul.
06:18By Eitnore.
06:20Otherwise.
06:21Gweri picked up that loose ball.
06:23Unleashed his effort.
06:25Really well bought this one.
06:27Altamari on the edge of his own 18-yard box.
06:31Belgari.
06:35Bentaleb.
06:36Little touch for Marza.
06:38Marza's shot.
06:39Pushed away by Abulela.
06:41And the rebound doesn't trouble the goalkeeper.
06:44Best we've seen.
06:45Certainly in the second half from Algeria.
06:47Mares is the man that stings the palms of Abulela.
06:52He likes not to try and get two hands on it to keep it and hold it.
06:56Pushes it away.
06:57The follow-up by Ryan Etnore on his slightly weaker right foot.
07:05Monday.
07:11Marza.
07:13Showing great strength here.
07:15Marza.
07:19He's having a better second half, isn't he, Marza?
07:22Great carry of the ball.
07:24Low sensor of gravity.
07:26Allowing him to just shrug off players that come and try and
07:28nick possession off him.
07:31That's a Bayani.
07:32A bit of clear.
07:33Oh, and.
07:35There's lots of room on this near side.
07:37And that room is now occupied by Abutaha.
07:40The ball into the middle.
07:42Cleared away.
07:42Not too far, though.
07:44Teasing curling shot from El Ruabde.
07:52Looking around for the answer, isn't he?
07:54And the answer being just starting that a little closer to that top corner.
08:01Bentaleb.
08:03Curling it in.
08:05Save is made by Abulela from Nadir Benbuwali.
08:10We haven't really seen much, have we, of Benbuwali,
08:12since he's been on the pitch.
08:14That's the type of ball that he wants, though.
08:20Magali.
08:23Mahrez.
08:24Caught there.
08:25By Abudaha.
08:28And this will be.
08:30The first yellow card.
08:33For Jordan.
08:34And it goes to Hussam Albudar.
08:36Wonderful feat by Riyad Mahrez.
08:38Something we've seen over the years.
08:43Mahrez with the corner.
08:44Headed towards goal.
08:45And in.
08:46And Algeria get the equaliser.
08:48And it's the substitute.
08:50Nadir Benbuwali, who has made it 1-1 with a powerful header.
08:55And in the game thus far before this one.
08:59Very straightforward.
09:01Simplicity being genius.
09:04A cliched big man standing up, towering above the opposition defenders.
09:09Doesn't need a run.
09:10Just needs a leap.
09:12No fewer than three red shirts around him.
09:15He's the man that climbs the highest.
09:17And Abulayla has got absolutely no chance.
09:22Shaby.
09:24Well, that was really struck well.
09:27By Farah Shaby.
09:28And Abulayla.
09:30Moved a little bit, didn't it?
09:31And Shaby just trying his look from fully 25 yards out.
09:38Mahrez threads it through.
09:40Chance here for the substitute.
09:41Haj Musa.
09:42Deflected wide for the corner.
09:49Haj Musa is delivering.
09:51Could drop anywhere.
09:53And it's turned in from close range.
09:55It's a second goal for Algeria.
09:58And it's been scored by Amin Goweri.
10:02From 1-0 down, Algeria lead 2-1.
10:06By the men in red.
10:08First contact once again from an Algerian point of view.
10:12The question mark after that, though, comes down to whether there's an offside.
10:20Because you've got a centre-forward there, Goweri hovering around just behind the final man.
10:32Well, as we're looking at here with the technology that we've got, that's our disposal at the FIFA World Cup.
10:45Algerian staff in the technical area, all up on their feet, pleading with the referee to bring this match to
10:50a conclusion.
10:54Algeria have won it.
10:55They've come from behind.
10:59Vladimir Petkovic's side will face Austria in their next game with both teams on three points.
11:07In a winner-takes-all game, but for Jordan, the World Cup dream has come to an end.
11:13They are eliminated.
11:15Algeria coming from behind in the second half.
11:17Jordan 1, Algeria 2.
11:37Old Star Wars.
11:40This has been Green rises.
11:41Difficult unbury bolaagne.
11:41As for the king of the Letters are in a different aisle, let's bend them to gambling.
11:42We've managed to bug the将 from here and find race near the rest of the team.
11:42Agreed, presides in the event of September, Paula's time for the spaghetti room for the game,
11:42When in this lifetime when we岸 to land on the street, we've broken across the way.
11:43You
