Attacking effort in loss
Ehsan Haddad registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat to Austria.
Analysis: Haddad in right midfield certainly played an attacking role and was not heavily involved defensively, which was where Jordan struggled most after conceding three goals. His creativity leaves room for significant upside in a Jordan attack that generated 11 total shots in the match. As the captain of the squad, Haddad is likely to remain an important part of their attacking approach going forward. His next fixture will be against Algeria, who are expected to be the stronger side despite losing 3-0 to defending champion Argentina in their opener, making it another difficult matchup.
Likely starter for Jordan
Haddad is set to start at right wing-back for Jordan at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Haddad is looking to be a starter at the World Cup for Jordan, as the defender will serve on the right in either a right-back or right wing-back role. He is serving on a team that could have a rough tournament, hurting his prospects as a defender. However, his two-way ability could be a plus for the defender, as he could also find his way into some set-piece roles. However, the defender's value is likely to be limited, as he is further down the pecking order for corner kicks.
