Jordan have won just one point from their last five matches, drawing 2-2 with Nigeria in their most recent outing. Four defeats in five games tell a bleak story of a team struggling against stronger opposition.
The losses came in quick succession. Argentina beat them 3-1, Algeria won 2-1, and back-to-back away defeats saw Austria and Switzerland both score four and three goals respectively. The 4-1 hammering in Switzerland was particularly damaging - a comprehensive display of the gap between Jordan and top-tier European sides.
The draw with Nigeria offered some respite. It was the only match in this run where Jordan avoided defeat, though holding a 2-2 scoreline suggests they conceded early and had to fight back rather than controlling the game from the start.
Across these five fixtures, Jordan have shipped 13 goals while scoring just 6. The defensive record is the immediate concern. Whether facing South American, African or European opposition, they have been repeatedly opened up. The inability to keep a clean sheet, even against Nigeria at home, indicates systemic issues rather than isolated lapses.
There are no bright spots to extract from this sequence. The draw provides minimal comfort when four of the five matches ended in defeat.
From matches covered on Scoresque, not the team's full history.
