"I believe we ultimately played two good matches. We deserved to win this one, which will undoubtedly give us great confidence heading into the next game against Austria," the Bosnian coach remarked during his post-match press conference.

He acknowledged that his team made a defensive error leading to Al-Rashdan's goal for Jordan in the first half. "Jordan is a solid, combative team and deserves their spot at the World Cup," the coach affirmed, as reported by BTA.

Algeria is level on points with Austria, meaning everything will be decided in their direct encounter.
