The Jordan national football team lost 3-1 to Austria in the tenth group of the FIFA World Cup. Jamal Salami, the coach of Jordan, said that his team can hold their heads high and feel proud after presenting a respectable performance in their historic first appearance in the FIFA World Cup. Austria advanced with a goal that came from their only real artistic touch in the first half when Roman Schmid scored a curved ball in the upper corner. But Jordan responded strongly after the break when Ali Alwan equalized. And Yazen Arab's own goal in his net restored Austria's lead, and despite Jordan's push towards the attack in search of a draw, the penalty kick executed by substitute Marco Arnautovic in the last minutes of added time ended their resistance in the end. This result leaves Jordan in third place in their group with a goal difference behind Algeria, which lost 3-0 to Argentina earlier in the day. Salami said that the final result was exaggerated in favor of Austria and did not do justice to his team's efforts. He added: I think the result does not reflect the effort made by the Jordanian national team, but I am very happy and proud of their performance. Jordan is known for its distinctive ability in counter-attacks, but it was particularly impressive in the way it attacked Austria, even when the score was 1-1. Salami said: No one expected us to be so bold and initiative, and to be able to take advantage of the opportunities available in this way. In the end, the difference between the two teams was the quality of the elements that Austria possesses, including the elements available on the bench like the historic scorer Arnautovic. Salami added: We could not win against Austria because it has players in Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He also expressed his regret for the absence of striker Yazen Al-Naimat due to a serious knee injury he suffered in December. Salami said: If Al-Naimat was with us today, the result would have been different. Salami emphasized that the Jordanian team will work on improving their performance in the upcoming matches. The team will head to the next match with high spirits and ready to face the upcoming challenges.
