The match finished Algeria 3-3 Austria at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The scoring sequence saw Arnautović open for Austria at 27:45, Belghali level before halftime, Sabitzer’s 1-2 for Austria, then Mahrez’s two strikes and Kalajdzic’s late equaliser. Algeria registered 5 shots on target to Austria’s 3, while Austria earned three corners to Algeria’s zero and committed more fouls (7 vs 3).

Algeria's attacking intent was clear in open play, with Mahrez converting twice in the second half and Belghali contributing the early reply. Houssem Aouar supplied two second-half assists, underpinning Algeria’s reliance on quick service to Mahrez. Austria’s threat stemmed from Arnautović’s opener and the Sabitzer–Kalajdzic link in midfield, but their finishing remained short of Algeria’s.

Austria’s discipline and defensive pressure were tested, as they committed seven fouls and earned one yellow card (Arnautović) while Algeria committed three fouls with no bookings. The higher foul count and three offsides for Austria signal a more aggressive approach and rising offside calls as they pressed Algeria’s build-up. Algeria’s defensive shape held reasonably well under that pressure, particularly during the second-half surge.

Set-piece dynamics favoured Austria, evidenced by three corners to Algeria’s zero, yet no goal came from a corner for them. Tactically, Algeria shifted toward through balls and quick layoffs for Mahrez, aided by Aouar’s movement to feed him in the final third, while Austria relied on Laimer’s distribution for Sabitzer and the Kalajdzic target to unlock the defence.

The two-assist contribution from Aouar and Mahrez’s two finishes in the second half were decisive in transforming Algeria’s threat into a three-goal sequence. Austria’s Laimer–Sabitzer–Kalajdzic linkage created late momentum and maintained hope of a winner, but finishing accuracy ultimately tilted the result toward Algeria. For bettors, the data highlights finishing efficiency and creative build-up as the principal differentiators, with set-piece volume not converting for Austria.
