Read about out how our Red Bulls are getting on at the tournament with our updates below!

16th June: Austria 3-1 Jordan

Nicolas Seiwald and Xaver Schlager have also got their World Cup campaign off to a winning start as Austria beat tournament debutants Jordan 3-1. The hard-fought victory was Austria’s first at a World Cup since a 2-1 win over the USA in 1990.

Austria took the lead after 21 minutes through Werder Bremen midfielder Romano Schmid, who found space outside the box and curled a superb effort into the top-right corner. The goal sparked an emotional celebration, with Schmid running straight to the touchline to celebrate with the injured Christoph Baumgartner. “The goal was for him,” Schmid said after the match.

Jordan, however, proved stubborn opponents and created several promising openings of their own. Their positive approach was rewarded shortly after half time when Ali Olwan bent a fine finish into the far corner to level the score at 1-1 (50’).

Ralf Rangnick’s side eventually regained control from a set piece. Challenged by Marko Arnautović, Jordan captain Yazan Al-Arab inadvertently diverted a corner into his own net to restore Austria’s lead (76’). Arnautović then sealed the result deep into stoppage time from the penalty spot, securing a 3-1 opening victory for Austria (90’+12).

16th June: Iraq 1-4 Norway

Antonio Nusa helped Norway begin their first World Cup campaign in 28 years with a convincing 4-1 win over Iraq on Tuesday night.

Toni was involved straight away as Norway took the lead in Foxborough. Our forward drove forward at pace and slipped an excellent ball into the path of David Møller Wolfe, whose cross was turned in by Erling Haaland at the far post (29’). The Manchester City striker struck again shortly before half time after a huge error at the back and later took the Player of the Match award for his brace (43’).

The game was not quite as straightforward as the final scoreline suggests, however. Iraq showed plenty of courage, initially levelled the scores through Aymen Hussein (39’) and had several chances to make it 2-2. After the break, a header from former Hoffenheim defender Leo Østigård (76’) and a late own goal eventually made the result look more comfortable (90’+6).

For Norway and Toni, it was the three points they had targeted in Group I. Tougher challanges against Senegal and France are still to come.

14th June: Côte d'Ivoire 1-0 Ecuador

Yan Diomande and Côte d'Ivoire kicked off their World Cup group-stage campaign with a 1-0 win over Ecuador on Sunday night. The meeting between two of Germany’s group opponents was settled by Manchester United’s Amad Diallo, who struck in the second minute of stoppage time.

Yan initially caused problems down the right wing, where former Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapié struggled to contain him. He switched over to the left as the second half wore on and continued to pose a threat from there. FIFA named him the Player of the Match for his performance.

Next Saturday at 22:00 CEST, Yan and the Ivory Coast take on David Raum and Assan Ouédraogo's Germany side.

14th June: Germany 7-1 Curaçao

Germany began their World Cup campaign in style, claiming a fully deserved 7-1 win over Curaçao in Houston and winning their opening game at the tournament for the first time since 2014.

Felix Nmecha gave Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann’s side an early lead, but the underdogs briefly stunned the favourites with an equaliser. The DFB-Team soon bounced back with goals from Nico Schlotterbeck and Kai Havertz making it 3-1 at half time, before really showing their dominance after the break in particular. Jamal Musiala extended the lead straight after the restart, while Nathaniel Brown added a fifth.

David Raum replaced the Frankfurt man at left-back in the 72nd minute and was on the pitch as Deniz Undav made it 6-1 and Havertz added Germany’s seventh. Assan Ouédraogo is still waiting for his first World Cup appearance.
