Algeria are back in the third-place lane

Algeria changed the 07:00 UTC board with one result: a 2-1 comeback over Jordan in Santa Clara. Jordan led through Nizar Al-Rashdan in the 36th minute, but Nadhir Benbouali equalized in the 69th and Amine Gouiri won it in the 82nd. ESPN's report says the result keeps Algeria alive, eliminates Jordan, and leaves Algeria and Austria level on three points behind Argentina in Group J.1
The match profile fits the comeback. ESPN's match page lists Algeria with 72% possession, 8 shots on goal to Jordan's 4, and 1.81 expected goals to Jordan's 0.65.2
