Austria opened their 2026 World Cup Group J campaign with a victory, though the path proved more challenging than the final scoreline might suggest. The European side, favorites in pre-match predictions, had to come from behind after Jordan's temporary equalizer to secure all three points.
The match began with a spectacular strike from Schmid that put Austria ahead, creating expectations of a comfortable win. However, Jordan proved to be a difficult opponent and refused to give up. Ali Olwan appeared at the right moment to score a goal that made it 1-1 and sparked hopes for the Asian side.
The decisive moment came through misfortune for Jordan: an own goal by Al-Arab restored Austria's lead. With the match under control, Marko Arnautovic, a legendary figure in Austrian football, closed the account with the third goal to seal the 3-1 triumph.
