Algeria secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Jordan on Monday, eliminating the World Cup debutants from the tournament. After trailing in the first half due to a goal from Nizar Al-Rashdan, Algeria rallied with second-half strikes from Nadhir Benbouali and Amine Gouiri. The win allows Algeria to recover from an initial 3-0 defeat to Argentina and puts them level with Austria on three points in Group J. Meanwhile, defending champions Argentina have officially advanced to the next round as group winners. Veteran attacker Riyad Mahrez returned to the starting lineup and played a pivotal role in orchestrating the comeback. Jordan's goalkeeper, Yazeed Abu Laila, expressed disappointment, attributing the loss to missed opportunities rather than tactical failures. The result leaves Algeria fighting for progression while ending Jordan's first-ever World Cup campaign.
