Austria Takes On Jordan in World Cup Showdown: Live Score and Match Stats

Austria Takes On Jordan in World Cup Showdown: Live Score and Match Stats

It has been 28 years since Austria, revitalized under the guidance of former Manchester United caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick, last featured at a World Cup. It has been 44 years since the nation advanced past the group stage. Many would argue their return to the tournament is well past due.

Jordan is among four first-time participants at this summer's grand football spectacle, having earned their place following FIFA's expansion of the competition to 48 teams. Nevertheless, they are competing well beyond their expected level, currently ranked a modest 63rd in FIFA's global standings — a full 39 positions behind Austria.

Recent results indicate Austria will come out of the gates strong — four victories in five outings with 10 goals to their name is a commendable record — while Jordan appear to face an uphill battle. A convincing 4–1 friendly loss to Switzerland offered a glimpse of the challenges the World Cup may bring, and a subsequent 2–0 defeat to Ecuador only deepened those concerns. Austria look set to find the net, likely on more than one occasion.
