Austria ended a 28-year drought with a gritty 3-1 victory over World Cup
debutants Jordan. Romano Schmid ignited the scoreboard with a stunning strike, while Ali
Olwan made history by netting Jordan’s first-ever tournament goal. Despite Jordan’s fearless counter-attacks,
Austria’s late-game pressure—capped by an own goal and a stoppage-time penalty—clinched the win.
Austria now sits level with Argentina in Group J.
