/ The Iraqi youth team lost to its Jordanian counterpart with two goals to none, today, Wednesday, in the match hosted by “Sida” Stadium in its first friendly match within its camp held in the Turkish city of Antalya in preparation for the upcoming matches.
The first half ended in a goalless draw between the two teams. This half witnessed the Iraqi youth team miss a penalty kick that was missed by player Mustafa Qabil. In the second half, the Jordanian team succeeded in scoring two goals after taking advantage of the opportunities available to them, while the Iraqi youth team did not succeed in scoring after wasting some scoring opportunities.
In the second half, Iraqi national team coach Imad Muhammad included several substitute players to test their technical levels and give all players the opportunity to benefit from such trial matches.
It is hoped that the Iraqi youth team will play a second match on the 27th of this month against the Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk.
