MANAMA: It was a heartbreaking experience last night for hosts Bahrain as Iraq scored a late equaliser to draw 1-1 in a Group 'C' of the World Cup-AFC qualification clash at the National Stadium.
Bahrain deservingly went ahead through Kamil Al Aswad's goal in the ninth minute but Iraq pressed hard and their perseverance paid off with four minutes to go for full time when Mohanad Ali Alshammari found himself in the right place at the right time to poke in a pass from the left to score the equaliser.
