🧠 Match Summary

vs

Algeria and Austria served up a breathless six-goal thriller in Kansas City on Matchday 17 of Group J, sharing the spoils in a 3-3 draw that will long be remembered. Marko Arnautovic gave Austria the lead on 28 minutes, but Rafik Belghali levelled right on the stroke of half-time. Marcel Sabitzer restored Austria's advantage just after the hour, before Riyad Mahrez equalised on 60 minutes and then looked to have won it with a stunning late strike in the 90th minute. Yet the drama was not over — Sasa Kalajdzic headed Austria level deep into stoppage time at 90+6' to complete a remarkable comeback.

Algeria dominated possession at 65% and registered 12 shots to Austria's 10, but neither side could claim the victory their efforts deserved. Referee Ilgiz Tantashev had his hands full throughout, with Austria collecting a yellow card among their seven fouls. A point each may ultimately suit neither side, but this was World Cup football at its most exhilarating.
