Doha: Bahrain and Iraq shared the points in a feisty goalless draw at the Al Thumama Stadium today. Both teams had few clear cut chances in their Group A clash of the FIFA Arab Cup 2021. The draw leaves Bahrain with one point and bottom of the table from two matches, while Iraq have two points.
Both teams are next in action again on Monday in the final group round of matches when Bahrain take on Oman at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium and Iraq will play hosts Qatar at the Al Bayt Stadium.
