- Algeria completed a late turnaround to beat debutants Jordan 2-1 at the World Cup in San Francisco, eliminating them from the tournament.
- Algeria kept their own knockout-stage hopes alive with the comeback victory after falling behind against a Jordan side appearing at their first World Cup.
Why it matters: A loss would have ended Algeria's tournament, so the comeback preserves their path to the knockout rounds while sending Jordan home in their debut appearance. For Jordan, the exit caps a first-ever World Cup campaign without advancing past the group stage.
