Austria recorded a World Cup victory for the first time in 36 years with a 3-1 win over debutants Jordan in a Group J match at soccer’s premier global tournament on Tuesday.

A late own goal proved decisive, as Jordan defender Yazan Al Arab deflected a corner into his own net in the 76th minute to give Austria a 2-1 lead. Marko Arnautovic later added a stoppage-time penalty to seal the win.

The match between a World Cup debutant and an Austrian side returning to the tournament after missing the previous six editions produced plenty of drama throughout.

The decisive phase came in the second half, when Jordan equalised before Austria scored twice from corner situations, though only one goal stood after VAR intervention.

Arnautovic initially thought he had put Austria ahead from a corner after a mistake by Jordan goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila, but the goal was disallowed following a VAR review that ruled a handball by Stefan Posch in the build-up.

Austria then struck again from another corner following the second-half hydration break, with Al Arab turning the ball into his own net to restore their lead.

Romano Schmid had earlier put Austria ahead in the 20th minute, finishing a well-worked move with a precise right-footed strike into the top corner after a pass from Xaver Schlager.

Jordan responded in the 50th minute through Ali Olwan, who ran into the box on a counterattack before beating goalkeeper Alexander Schlager with a right-footed finish, sparking celebrations among Jordanian supporters.

Austria’s win marked their first World Cup victory since defeating the United States in the 1990 group stage.

Jordan, meanwhile, failed to become the first team since Senegal in 2002 to win their World Cup debut match. They will next face Algeria in Santa Clara on Monday, while Austria will take on Argentina in the Dallas area the same day.
