Iraq conceded a goal and Rebin Sulaqa was sent off in the first minutes, before conceding four goals in the second half and losing 5-0 to Senegal today, Friday, to exit the FIFA World Cup without gaining any point in the ninth group, which France won with a 4-1 victory over Norway, benefiting from a hat-trick scored by Ousmane Dembélé within 25 minutes during the first half.
Iraq fell behind with a goal in the fourth minute scored by Habib Diarra. Then Sulaqa was sent off in the tenth minute to complete the match with ten players. Goalkeeper Ahmed Basil was forced to replace him due to injury. Then the team conceded four more goals in the second half, scored by Ismaila Sarr and substitutes Pape G (two goals) and Ilimane Ndiaye.
