Arab Cup 2021.. Strange behavior from Iraq's technical director to prevent his player from taking a penalty kick
Petrovich, the sports coach of the Iraqi national team, did a strange act during the meeting with his Omani counterpart, which ended a short time ago with a 1-1 draw, in the framework of the first round tournaments of the first group of the Arab Cup, which will be hosted by the State of Qatar until December 18.
Petrovich stormed the playing field of the match after his player Ayman Hussein missed a penalty kick in the fifth minute of time, instead of missing the match, with the aim of preventing him from taking the kick a second time, after the referee of the sports meeting issued a decision to return it as a result of the Oman players entering the penalty area during its performance.
The procedure of the technical director of the Iraqi national team raised the astonishment of everyone who was on the field of play, as his players rose to remove him from the field of the playing field so that he would not be subjected to a penalty from the referee of the forum.
The two goals of the sporting meeting came from two penalty kicks, as Salah Al Yahyai, the destination of Oman, scored in the 78th minute of a punitive measure, and then Hassan Abdel Karim realized a tie in the seventh minute instead of the game’s wanderer after the referee returned the penalty kick that was wasted and then set up the Oman net.
The national team of the Republic of Iraq was forced to complete the sporting meeting with ten players only after the expulsion of its player Yasser Safaa Qassem for obtaining two zeros in the fifty and 68th minutes of the match.
In the same group, the Qatar national team will play with its Bahraini counterpart when the clock arrives at half past six in the evening.
