Jordan’s World Cup campaign will end on Saturday following a 2-1 loss to Algeria. The loss eliminates Jordan from the Round of 32 while Algeria boosted their own hopes of advances. Nizar Al Rashdan scored the first goal in the 36th minute.

Algeria’s response came in the 69th minute, when Nadir Benbouali scored the equalizer, and later, his teammate Amine Gouiri in the 82nd minute put the ball in the net, as the Fennecs delivered a hurtful loss to the Al Nashama lads.

No shame losing to an experienced team as some of its players are in European Leagues such as the English Premier League, Ligue 1 Francaise, Dutch Eredivise, Swiss League, and others.

Today win by Algeria assures Argentina will finish top of Group J by virtue of their wins over Algeria and Austria.
