Iraq Rally to Edge Vietnam

On Tuesday, Vietnam played Iraq bravely and took the lead twice. But a brilliant last minute free-kick from Adnan gave Iraq, champions in 2007, a dramatic 3-2 win at Zayed Sports City Stadium.
Iraq collected three points, but ranked second in Group D with a goal difference behind their Iranian counterparts, who beat Yemen 5-0 on Monday.
The AFC Asian Cup is the second oldest continental football championship after Copa America. The winning team qualifies for the FIFA Confederations Cup.
