Elsewhere, Abdulrahman Alobud has scored to give Saudi Arabia a 1-0 lead over Australia in a crucial Group C clash. The hosts need a five-goal margin of victory to overtake the Socceroos and qualify from the group. Check out our dedicated blog for live updates from that game.

We are goalless in the first half so far and a solitary minute has been added to it. Let's see if something striking happens in the next 60 seconds.

There comes the half-time whistle and we are locked at 0-0 as of now. Neither side stands to lose much upon defeat, and thus we might see a bit more enterprising football in the next 45 minutes.

Iraq attacking from left to right and Jordan from right to left in the second half. Remember that Jordan have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Iraq are out of contention for an automatic berth and will need to go through the playoffs.

A bit of a melee in the Joran box but nothing comes off it. We are now more than 70 minutes into the encounter and the opening goal is still awaited.

We finally have the opening goal of the match in the 77th minute. Abdulkareem's free-kick gets the faintest of touches from Sajjad Jasim and trickles into the far end of the Jordan goal. Iraq take the lead!

The regulation 90 minutes have elapsed and six minutes of injury time been added. Jordan trying to control possession and create a move that produces the equaliser somehow.

The full-time whistle is blown and Iraq emerge victors by a 1-0 margin. Jordan had already qualified for the World Cup but end their campaign on a losing note, while the visitors finish on a high. Iraq end third in Group B with 15 points, just one adrift of Jordan's 16.
