Talk about a fairytale: Iraq defy odds to win Asian Cup
When the final whistle sounded, the Iraq players collapsed to the ground in a mixture of shock and an unbridled emotion, kissing the turf and embracing each other after their country’s finest sporting moment.
Saudi Arabia were outplayed by an Iraqi team riding high on a wave of national support.
The Iraqis created a string of chances, only to be denied by sloppy finishing and extraordinary saves from Saudi goalkeeper Yasser Al Mosailem.
It will be interesting to see if this stimulates a feeling of national unity that actually makes a difference over there.
BTW- The final score was 1-0.
