Algeria vs Austria live updates: Arnautovic scores opening goal in World Cup 2026 game

We have just had some boos and whistles from the crowd in response to a period of sterile possession from Austria, passing the ball around very slowly at the back. It was unclear whether the boos were from Algerian fans, frustrated by their opponents, or from neutrals who are unimpressed by what they’re seeing.

Either way, no real chances so far and, as it stands, we’re on course for a draw that would send both teams through.
