And now they have conceded in added time of the first half against Iraq.

In truth, Javier Mascherano’s side have been excellent in the opening 45 minutes and although took the lead through Thiago Almada, really should have doubled their advantage.

With 45+4 on the clock, Aymen Hussein got in front of Nicolas Otamendi and placed a sensational header into the far corner to go into the break all square.
