SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Austria won a World Cup game for the first time in 36 years with a 3-1 victory Tuesday over a Jordan team on debut at soccer’s premier global event. An own goal from a corner kick that deflected off Jordanian defender Yazan Al Arab gave Austria a 2-1 lead in the 76th minute.

Austria secured a long-awaited World Cup victory, defeating debutants Jordan 3-1. Romano Schmid opened the scoring, but Jordan equalised before an own goal and a late Marko Arnautovic penalty sealed the win.
