/ The top scorer of the Iraqi Asian Cup, Ayman Hussein, revealed today, Wednesday, the secret of the dramatic “victory” over Vietnam and topping Group 4 in the last moments of the match, while he talked about the secret of his celebration of the second goal of the match.
The Iraqi national team player, Ayman Hussein, said in a press interview followed by Agency, that after the victory over Vietnam and topping the fourth group, “I thank everyone who supported me, and I thank the coach and the Iraqi fans, and congratulations to the Iraqi people for topping our group.”
Hussein added, “Today we started the match against Vietnam with 10 new players, which perhaps explains the difficulties we faced in this match,” indicating that “the most important achievement is winning the Asian Cup, not winning the title of top scorer in the tournament.”
Ayman Hussein continued, “The celebration with player Ali Jassim came because he is the best goal scorer in the tournament,” indicating that “his celebration of the second goal in the match was similar to the celebration of former national team player Younis Mahmoud in the 2007 Asian Cup.”
For its part, the technical committee of the Asian Championship chose the Iraqi national team striker, Ayman Hussein, as the best player in the match between the Iraqi and Vietnamese national teams in the third round match of the 2023 Asian Championship.
Ayman Hussein won the best player award in the Iraq-Vietnam match after scoring two goals against Vietnam.
Ayman Hussein tops the tournament’s scorers list so far after scoring five goals so far, one against Indonesia, two against Japan, and two against Vietnam.
Ayman Hussein also became the first Iraqi player to score in three consecutive matches in the tournament, a precedent that was not achieved by the former player, “The Butcher of Asia” Younis Mahmoud.
The Iraqi team topped Group 4 with 9 points, followed by Japan with 6 points, then Indonesia in third place with 3 points, and Vietnam in fourth place without obtaining any points.
