The teams of Iraq and Oman finished their match in the Arab Cup with a positive draw, allowing each to earn a point in their journey within Group A, which also includes Bahrain and Qatar. The Oman team took the lead with a penalty executed by Salah Al-Yahyai in the 78th minute. However, Iraq managed to score an equalizer in the sixth minute of stoppage time through a penalty taken by Hassan Abdul Kareem.
In the first half, Iraq showed superior ball possession, spreading out across the field and creating serious attempts on goal, while the Omani team appeared more reserved and focused on closing their defense. The crossbar assisted the Omani team on two occasions, first blocking a powerful shot from Mohammed Qasim in the 21st minute, and then again in the 32nd minute when a shot from Ahmed Farhan hit the goalkeeper's hand before striking the crossbar and turning into a corner kick, as reported by the sports website "Kooora."
In the second half, the performance changed, and the Omani team appeared more energetic, gaining ball control and dominating the midfield, while the Iraqi team showed a noticeable decline.
