Austria 3-1 Jordan Player Ratings as Schlager Sparkles With 8/10 Performance

Summary
Ralf Rangnick and Austrian football fans will feel justice has been served at the 2026 FIFA World Cup game following a 3-1 win as a gutsy Jordan metaphorically shot themselves in the foot at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in Santa Clara, California, United States on Wednesday. A first half strike from Romano Schmid gave coach Rangnick and his men the lead before Ali Olwan's curling effort beyond Alexander Schlager in the 50th minute levelled up the scores.
Controversy was at hand for Austria when a goal from Arnautovic was chalked off in the 70th minute after Stefan Posch was deemed to have handled the ball by VAR officials before his teammate pounced to score.
However, the team was relieved when the defining moment for Austria and coach Rangnick came in the 76th minute. A set piece situation for Austria in the opposition box saw Yazan Al Arab competing with Arnautovic once again but end up scoring an inadvertent own goal past his own keeper Yazeed Yazeed Abulaila.
The nail in the coffin came in stoppage time after a handball decision against Jordan saw Marko Arnautovic step up and deliver from the spot to make it 3-1 on the night. The result sees Austria move up to second spot as they now hear up to face Argentina in their next game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup which is scheduled to take place in United States, Canada and Mexico.
