Argentina took control early, with goals from Giovani Lo Celso in the 19th minute and Lautaro Martinez from the penalty spot in the 31st, establishing a commanding 2-0 lead by halftime. Jordan's attempts to respond were limited, managing only 27% possession and a mere five shots, one of which was on target.

However, Argentina quickly extinguished any momentum with Lionel Messi's goal in the 80th minute, further solidifying their dominance. The match statistics reflected the disparity, with Argentina registering 12 total shots and 4 on target compared to Jordan's 5 total shots.
Defensively, Jordan faced challenges, accumulating three yellow cards and committing 11 fouls, while Argentina remained disciplined with no cards issued. The match underscored Argentina's strength as they look to advance in the tournament, while Jordan will need to regroup and refine their strategy for future encounters.
