SANTA CLARA, Calif. \u2014 Algeria scored off two corner kicks in the second half to rally from an early deficit and defeat Jordan 2-1 on Monday night to bolster its chances of advancing to the knockout round of the World Cup<\/a> .<\/p>

Second-half substitute Nadhir Benbouali headed in a corner kick in the 69th minute and Amine Gouiri provided the game-winner in the 82nd to give Algeria its first win at the World Cup since 2014.<\/p>\n

The Jordanians had taken the lead for the first time at a World Cup on a first-half goal by Nizar Al Rashdan but couldn\u2019t withstand the continual pressure from Algeria in the second half.<\/p>\n

This marked the first time Algeria had ever won a World Cup game after conceding the first goal. They had seven losses and two draws previously when that happened.<\/p>\n

Algeria bounced back after a 3-0 to Argentina<\/a> in its opening game and can finish second in Group J \u2014 and clinch a spot in the knockout round \u2014 with a win on Saturday against Austria.<\/p>

Jordan is out of contention for the knockout rounds with a second straight loss. It opened with a 3-1 defeat to Austria<\/a> but put up a strong effort in its first appearance on soccer\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n

Momentum clearly swung after Benbouali equalized when Riyad Mahrez\u2019s corner kick found him in the middle of the box and he sent a header into the corner that Yazeed Abulaila couldn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

Algeria kept up the attack and took the lead when Gouiri got a touch on a ball in the box that deflected off Abulaila and into the net, setting off an Algerian celebration with their fans just behind the goal at Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>
