Sudan 0-0 Iraq LIVE Score, FIFA Arab Cup: Falcons Of Jediane Face Tough Test Against Former Champions

How did Sudan not score that?! The best chance of the game so far. A long ball from the right was flicked by Robia towards Rahman, but the skipper could not connect properly and blasted his shot way over the bar.

Much better, this, from Sudan. Abdelrahman cut inside from the left and had a powerful shot with his right. It beat the stretched arm of the goalkeeper but hit the side netting.

Drama!! Rahman made a dashing run into the box but went down after at tumble with Kareem. The Sudanese players surround the referee and ask for a penalty, but he waves play on. Lucky break for the Iraqis!

As expected, Iraq have been threatening going forward in the early stages of the match. Maknazi played a beautiful ball into the box, with a number of Iraq players attacking, but Saeed did well to put it behind for a corner.

The referee blows his whistle, and Iraq get tonight's Group D fixture underway in Doha. Stay tuned for live updates from the game.
