Goaaalll...! Austria dodges the ball cleverly from Jordan's midfield and Romano Schmid finds it at the edge of the box, who in turn fires in shoots a curling ball into the far corner, away from the Jordinian goalkeeper's reach.
Jordan remain extremely compact and disciplined at the back, while Austria are still trying to figure out a way to unlock the defence. Kalajdzic rises to nod a cross into the six-yard area, but Jordan deal with it comfortably. Austria come again and attempt to send Laimer through on goal, but his run is timed a fraction too early, with the offside flag going up and Jordan earning a relieving free-kick.
The pre-match formalities are done and Austria got the match underway after the referee blew the whistle. Jordan's Abu Al Nadi races to the left and launches a cross which goes to the skipper Haddad's right side.
In an earlier match today, Argentina stream rolled Jordan by 3-0, courtesy of a hat-trick by Lionel Messi, who leveled with Miroslav Klose (16) to become the leading goal-scorer in World Cup. Watch the highlights of ARG vs ALG match here.
