Comments:

After two defeats in their opening two group games, Jordan could not now progress to the knockout stages of their first FIFA World Cup tournament. . The Chivalrous Ones had now become the first nation to score in each of their first two games at the FIFA World Cup finals since Ivory Coast in Germany in 2006 (first three games). . They had now lost five and drawn two of their last seven ‘A’ international games.

Comments:

This was Algeria’s first win at a FIFA World Cup tournament since a 4-2 group stage success against Korea Republic in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2014. . This was the first time that the Fennecs had taken the lead after trailing in their 15 games at FIFA World Cup finals. . Nadhir Benbouali had now become the second player to score for them after coming on as a substitute in a game at a FIFA World Cup tournament: previously Abdelmoumene Djabou in a Round of 16 tie against Germany in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2014. . Algeria named only 14 of a possible 15 substitutes. Mohamed Amoura was deemed not fit enough to participate in this game.
