世界杯：奥地利三比一胜约旦，结束多年等待

Today let's talk about a very interesting World Cup match.

This match was Austria against Jordan.

Let's start with the result: Austria won, three to one.

This match was special for both teams.

Austria comes from Europe and is a team with some quality.

But they hadn't won a match at the World Cup for many years.

You might not believe it, but their last win was over thirty years ago.

So this time, they especially wanted to win a match.

Jordan comes from Asia, and they're even more special.

Because this was Jordan's first time playing at a World Cup.

For Jordan's players and fans, just being here was already a dream.

So both teams really wanted to play this match well.

One wanted to end years of not winning; the other wanted to play out its first time.

From the start, Austria was a bit more proactive.

They had more of the ball and kept looking for chances to score.

Jordan was more cautious; they first got their defending right, then looked to counter.

This is the approach a weaker team often uses against a stronger one.

The two teams went back and forth, and the opening of the match was great to watch.

In the 20th minute, Austria scored first.

The scorer was a player named Schmid.

One to nil — Austria led.

Austria's fans were thrilled; they wondered: will we win this time?

Still, Jordan didn't give up at all.

Just as the second half began, Jordan equalized.

The scorer was Jordan's forward Olwan.

One to one!

Jordan had scored at their very first World Cup.

Jordan's fans jumped up with joy, and the scene was electric.

For Jordan, this goal will be remembered for a very long time.

Because it was their first ever goal at a World Cup.

At this point, the match became more tense.

Both teams wanted to score one more and take the win.

Austria knew this was a good chance to end years of waiting.

They didn't want to miss it again, so they kept attacking.

In the 70-somethingth minute, Austria scored again.

This time, a Jordan player accidentally knocked the ball into his own goal.

Such a goal is called an "own goal," and it was a real shame for Jordan.

Two to one — Austria led again.

Jordan badly wanted to equalize, but there wasn't much time left.

They pushed forward to attack, but that left gaps at the back.

In the final minutes of the match, Austria won a penalty.

Their veteran Arnautović stepped up and slotted the ball in.

Three to one — Austria steadily won the match.

When the match ended, Austria's players were all thrilled.

Because they had finally ended thirty-odd years without a win.

For this team, this was a victory they had waited far too long for.

Their fans sang and danced in the stands, reluctant to leave.

For many older fans, they had waited most of their lives for this win.

So this moment meant a great deal to everyone connected with Austria.

Of course, although Jordan lost, they too could be proud.

This was their first World Cup, and they even scored a goal.

They weren't intimidated by a strong team and battled to the very end.

For a team here for the first time, this performance was already very good.

After the match, many people were talking about these two teams.

Some said Austria waited so long, and this win came so hard.

Others said Jordan's future is very much worth looking forward to.

Actually, this is exactly what makes the World Cup interesting.

Every team has its own story.

Some teams are waiting for a long-overdue victory.

Some teams are writing the first chapter of their own history.

For Austria, this was a very good start.

Winning the opener, they'll surely have more confidence.

For Jordan, although they lost, the group stage isn't over.

They still have a chance to fight for their own first win.

Alright, that was the Austria versus Jordan match.

Austria won three to one, ending years of waiting.

This was a match full of stories.

Thank you for listening — see you next time.
