JORDAN looked set for a historic result after Nizar Al-Rashdan gave them the lead in the first half, but Algeria produced a strong second-half comeback to secure a vital 2–1 victory. Nadhir Benbouali levelled the match in the 69th minute before Amine Gouiri struck the winner eight minutes from time, with the goal confirmed after a VAR review. Jordan defended bravely and created several dangerous moments, but Algeria's experience and attacking quality eventually proved decisive. The victory keeps Algeria's hopes of reaching the Round of 32 alive, while Jordan face an uphill battle after suffering their second consecutive defeat in Group J.

🔥 ALGERIA bounced back impressively after their 3–0 defeat to Argentina in the opening match.

Group J now heads into a dramatic final round, with Argentina already through to the knockout stage and Algeria still in contention for qualification.
