This victory became their biggest win in the FIFA World Cup finals since a 3-1 success in the 3rd place play-off against Uruguay in Zurich, Switzerland in 1954. . Aged 37 years and 59 days, Marko Arnautović had now become the oldest player to play in the FIFA World Cup finals for Austria: previously Michael Konsel versus Italy on 23 June 1998 in Paris, France (36 years and 109 days). . Marko Arnautović scored in the 69th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a handball. . Austria were awarded a penalty in the 11th minute of added time at the end of the game following a VAR review for handball.

Comments:

After ten unsuccessful attempts to qualify (the first was in 1986), Jordan had now become the 83rd nation to compete at a FIFA World Cup tournament. . 15 of the 16 players to take to the field in their historic debut game at the FIFA World Cup finals play their club football in Jordan or neighbouring Gulf leagues. Musa Al Taamari plays for Rennes in France’s Ligue 1. . They were now without a win in their last six ‘A’ international games (lost four).
