Amine Gouiri pounces to give Algeria victory and condemn Jordan to early World Cup exit

Algeria defeated Jordan 2-1 in a FIFA World Cup group stage match, with substitute Nadhir Benbouali heading an equaliser before Amine Gouiri scored eight minutes from time to secure victory. The result eliminates Jordan from the tournament with a game to spare, as the debutants had no answer after Nizar Al-Rashdan's first-half opener. Algeria's win revives their campaign following an opening 3-0 defeat to Argentina.
