Ayman Hussein scored a world-class goal for the Iraqi national team in the match against South Korea, which was held within the fourth round of the third stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
The South Korean team took the lead in the 41st minute through Se-Hun Oh, and at the beginning of the second half, Ayman Hussein succeeded in giving Iraq a deserved draw.
Amjad Atwan penetrated the South Korean penalty area from the right flank and sent a cross to Ayman Hussein, who converted it with a double backhand into the “Samson” net in the 51st minute.

Unfortunately, coach Casas’s battalion could not hold out for long, and then conceded two goals and lost for the first time in the qualifiers.
Iraq’s balance froze at seven points in second place in the group, while South Korea took the lead with 10 points.
The first two teams from each group qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup, while the third and fourth teams play in the fifth round of the qualifiers.
