Post by : Mara Rahim

In a decisive match, Algeria triumphed over Iraq with a 2-0 scoreline, securing their position in the quarter-finals of the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. This encounter marked the final group stage clash for both teams, with Algeria finishing with seven points, leading Group D. Iraq, despite the defeat, managed to secure second place in the group with six points, thus advancing alongside Algeria.

Throughout the match, Algeria demonstrated an impressive blend of offense and defense, managing to limit Iraq's scoring opportunities effectively. This victory showcases Algeria's strong form as they gear up for the more challenging knockout phase. Iraq's earlier performances had set them up nicely for qualification, ensuring their place even after this loss.

In another Group D showdown, Bahrain secured a 3-1 victory against Sudan at Education City Stadium. However, this result was insufficient for both teams to progress, as they were eliminated from the tournament.

With both Algeria and Iraq moving forward, anticipation builds for the knockout stage matchups. The tournament continues to offer thrilling moments, as teams vie for a chance to clinch the ultimate title in the region's football.
