Jordan 1:3 Argentina — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Giovani Lo Celso orchestrated the victory as Argentina beat Jordan 3-1 in the World Cup, setting up a meeting with Cape Verde in the next round. The South Americans were in control from the first whistle and rarely looked troubled by a Jordanian side that struggled to impose themselves on the game.

Argentina took the lead in the 19th minute when Lo Celso found the net, and Lautaro Martínez doubled the advantage just before the half-hour mark after a brief VAR check. Jordan pulled one back through Mousa Al-Taamari in the 55th minute, assisted by Ehsan Haddad, but Lionel Messi restored the two-goal cushion with a strike in the 80th minute to settle any nerves.

The win was thoroughly deserved, as Argentina dominated both halves and Jordan rarely threatened. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Argentina, and the result confirmed that prediction, with the live signals quiet throughout the match. Argentina now face Cape Verde on 3 July.
