Austria secures a 3-1 victory over Jordan to open their World Cup campaign, but it was far from easy.

Schmid's stunning strike gave Austria a 1-0 halftime lead, but Jordan stunned the crowd with an equalizer from Ali Olwan in the 50th minute.

Austria then regained control, with an own goal from Al Arab restoring their lead after VAR had disallowed an earlier Austrian goal.

The game became a stop-start affair, with Jordan making changes as they chased the game.

A handball penalty conceded by Obaid sealed Jordan's fate, with Arnautovic converting from the spot with virtually the last kick of the match.

Austria generated 1.66 xG to Jordan's 0.53.

Austria now faces a formidable Argentina, while Jordan will look for their first-ever World Cup points against Algeria.

Thanks for joining us for a highly entertaining game!
