Scores in loss
Ali Olwan scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat versus Austria.
Analysis: Ali Olwan scored a well-taken goal with a shot placed to the right side of the goal that was difficult for the goalkeeper to stop. Jordan's attack showed promising signs at times in this match, with Olwan playing a key role through his ability to create chances and threaten the goal, including a header that hit the crossbar. His attacking upside continues to show potential, but his next fixture will be a difficult matchup against Algeria, who are expected to be the stronger side despite losing 3-0 to defending champion Argentina in their opener.
Returns from injury
Olwan (undisclosed) played 45 minutes in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against Switzerland, marking his return to competitive action after being sidelined since Feb. 5, with the forward now fit and expected to be a starter for Jordan at the World Cup.
Analysis: Olwan had been absent for around three months with an undisclosed injury, raising serious concerns over his availability for the tournament, but his appearance against Switzerland is a significant relief for Jordan heading into their World Cup debut. The forward is expected to be one of the first names in the starting lineup for coach Jamal Sellami's side, having proven his importance to the national team with a hat trick during the qualification campaign.
