Noor Al Rawabdeh is hoping Jordan can learn the lessons from their opening defeat to Austria when they face Algeria in San Francisco.Jordans first-ever World Cup finals game ended in a 3-1 loss but they have the chance to bounce back when they face the North African side in Group J.Al-Nashama performed well against Ralf Rangnicks men but squandered the opportunities that came their way and Al Rawabdeh believes a more ruthless approach could reap dividends in a huge game for both sides.He told FIFA.com: We didnt make the most of our chances. In the first half, we missed three clear opportunities to score, but we learned an important lesson from this match.In big games, you might only get three or four chances, and you have to take them. In the end, we gave everything we had. This was our first match at the World Cup and we are proud of our fans who came to the stadium today. I hope we can make them happy in the next match.Algeria are also pointless after the opening round of fixtures after succumbing to a Lionel Messi masterclass.Messi scored a hat-trick to propel defending champions Argentina to a 3-0 victory although the game was not without controversy with the eight-time Ballon dOr winner escaping a red card after raking his studs down the calf of Aissa Mandi.The Algerian Football Federation lodged a complaint with FIFA regarding the performance of Polish referee Szymon Marciniak with the incident coming with their team 1-0 down and still very much in the contest.Its pointless commenting on hypothetical situations, but everyone saw it, including me, Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic said after the game.Table of ContentsTeam news for Jordan v AlgeriaPredicted line-ups for Jordan v AlgeriaWhere to watch Jordan v Algeria: TV and online streamsStats for Jordan v AlgeriaPrediction for Jordan v AlgeriaResponsible GamblingTeam news for Jordan v AlgeriaJordan have a doubt over defender Abdallah Nasib.Luca Zidane is likely to retain his place in the Algeria goal despite a poor performance against Argentina.
