Austria edge Jordan 3-1 as Arnautovic seals late World Cup win
Austria beat Jordan 3-1 in their World Cup Group J opener in Santa Clara. Romano Schmid opened the scoring with a 20-yard strike, Ali Olwan equalised for Jordan early in the second half, Yazan Al Arab’s glancing own goal put Austria back in front, and Marko Arnautovic added a stoppage-time penalty to seal the win. Jordan pressed in the first half and hit the bar through Olwan, while Arnautovic became Austria’s oldest World Cup player at 37 years 59 days; the win puts Austria level with Argentina at the top of Group J.
