Match Report

Algeria and Austria played out a breathless 3–3 draw in their World Cup group stage finale. Austria dominated possession at 65% and took the lead through Marko Arnautović in the 28th minute, though the striker had already picked up a yellow card earlier and was withdrawn at half-time alongside two teammates. Algeria levelled on the stroke of half-time via Rafik Belghali to ensure a tense restart.

The second half continued in frantic fashion. Marcel Sabitzer restored Austria's advantage just after the hour, only for Riyad Mahrez to equalise within five minutes. Austria's triple substitution reshuffle appeared to disrupt their rhythm, and Algeria grew into the game following their own changes on 71 minutes. Mahrez then struck deep into stoppage time to put Algeria ahead at 90+3', seemingly sealing the result — but Saša Kalajdžić's dramatic equaliser in the sixth minute of added time rescued a point for Austria.

Our pre-match AI model rated an Austria win as the most likely outcome at 49%, a call that ultimately fell short. Despite Austria's superior xG of 1.59 to Algeria's 1.18, the final scoreline reflected a contest that refused to follow any script.
