SANTA CLARA, United States (AFP) — Algeria came behind to beat Jordan 2-1 in a World Cup Group J game on Monday, eliminating the Asian debutants from the tournament.

Amine Gouiri equalised Nizar al-Rashdan’s opening goal before Nadhir Benbouali scored Algeria’s winner in the 82nd minute in Santa Clara.

The win gives Algeria hope of progressing to the knockout round if they can beat Austria in Kansas City on Saturday.
