Kuwait vs Iraq @faizallawi

P makes two changes to the side that Drew with Jordan 5 days ago as Al Shamari replaces Sal Midfield and aleri is preferred to dashy at left back Iman Hussein and Ali Jim Ali both start on the bench after picking up knocks on Match Day One meaning the likes of Ali Al hamadi and zidan ibal coming to the starting 11 early door is here it's KU with a lovely ball forward oh that is a dangerous tackle to be making there as the last man referee has produced a yellow card to reban sua VII stepping in there that yellow will become a straight red Iraq down to 10 men FAL alh Hari lines this one up gets it over the wall but it's straight into Jalal Hassan's hands almost half an hour gone here Iraq with a corner whipped in towards the post and I think it's YF Al suan who glances it away Amir fuad with the corner from this near side not a bad delivery the header well and truly over from tasin again Fu over the Deadpool situation in towards the back post it's a free header for Ahmed yah just couldn't keep it down really needs to be doing better there so nil nil at the break very few chances for either side almost an hour gone still waiting for someone to break the deadlock here Ali Jim on for the second half does well to test Abdul gaur Nowak looking a little stronger in this second 45 that's a great ball over over the top lovely first touch as well but can't find the Finish Under Pressure ibraim Bayes timed his run to Perfection great touch to pluck the ball out of the air couldn't find a way past the keeper dying stages now good chance we have a decent chunk of injury time as well but could Iraq snatch a winner late on what a save that is by Abdul gaur hasn't had too much to do that The Pick of the bunch to deny El deep into stoppage time now 13 minutes added on shot from distance well not the was convincing of saves there but does enough to keep it out so a physically draining contest ends in a goalless draw as Kuwait and Iraq both have to settle for a point and must now try to build on strong defensive displays heading into match day three in October
