Jordan's first World Cup ended in heartbreak. The debutants led through Ali Olwan — teed up by Noureddine Al-Rawabdeh — and looked set for a famous result, only for Algeria to turn the game around from two set-pieces. Nadhir Benbouali powered in the equaliser from a Riyad Mahrez corner, and substitute Amine Gouiri rose to head a late winner, again from a corner, for a 2–1 Algeria win.

The result revives Algeria after their opening defeat to Messi's Argentina, and eliminates Jordan — the first team in Group J to go out. The Jordanians leave their maiden World Cup after two narrow defeats, but having pushed both Austria and now Algeria far closer than the scorelines suggest.

Weird & wonderful

Both Algerian goals came from corners, Mahrez the architect of the first — set-piece after set-piece finally undoing a Jordan side that had defended so stoutly from open play.
