  • Ahmed Yasin Scores Off the Bench As Iraq Earn Decent Point
    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Iraq 1-1 Australia AHMED YASIN SCORES OFF THE BENCH AS IRAQ EARN DECENT POINT Iraq drew 1-1 with Asian champions Australia on Thursday with substitute Ahmed Yasin scoring the equalising goal for Iraq in the second half. The starting lineup caused a lot of debate among Iraqi fans - captain and forward Alaa Abdul-Zahra was injured in the warm-up and Radhi Shenaishil decided to replace him with centre-back Ali Bahjat, switching to a three-at- the-back system with two wingbacks in Dhurgham and Mhawi. Many Iraqi fans, also angered by the absence of Ahmed Yasin in attack (whose spot was taken by Amjad Kalaf), felt that Radhi had made the wrong team selection. But the Lions of Mesopotamia started the game on the front foot, with Saad Abdul-Amir going close from a corner and Amjad Kalaf being blocked when nearly through on goal. Iraq continued to pile the pressure on in the early exchanges of the match and should have gone a goal up when Kalaf found himself a few yards away from goal with just the scrambling Australia 'keeper in his way. But the two-time Iraqi League winner decided to try and chip the goalie and got it horribly wrong, lifting it over the bar. The missed chance seemed to knock Iraq's confidence a bit as Australia started to take control of possession on the poor pitch surface in Iran. And the Socceroos managed to take a one-goal lead into half-time when Mathew Leckie powered in a header unmarked from a corner.
