The Iraqi side came through player Ibrahim Baish in the 30th minute, before Aso Rustam added the second goal in the 88th minute, taking his score to 4 points at the top of the group, with one goal difference behind Oman’s second team.

On the other hand, the balance of the Saudi team in third place froze at 3 points, while the Yemeni team was at the bottom of the group standings with no points balance.

Next Thursday, the Iraqi national team will meet their Yemeni counterpart, while the Saudi national team will face their Omani counterpart on the same day in the third round of the first group.
