Austria registered its first World Cup win in 36 years, defeating debutant Jordan 3-1.\u00a0Austria won the final round of the World Cup for the first time since 1990. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romano Schmid scored a brilliant goal in the 21st minute for the European team in the match held in San Francisco.\u00a0But five minutes into the second half, Ali Olwan put Jordan back in the game with a stunning curling shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former Stoke City and West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic then scored after Jordan goalkeeper Yazid Abulaila failed to control a corner.\u00a0But the goal was disallowed after the intervention of the video assistant referee. Television reviews showed that the ball had hit Stefan Posch’s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
