Iraqi striker Ayman Al-Hussein was sent off during his country's match against his Jordanian counterpart (2-3), in the "Arab Derby" that brought them together today, Monday, in the round of 16 of the Asian Football Cup.

Ayman Al-Hussein received the second yellow card, after scoring the second goal for his country in the 76th minute, because he celebrated in a provocative, “disgraceful” way, imitating the Jordanian striker Yazan Al-Naimat celebrating his scoring the goal for “Al-Nashama” in the lost time of the first half.< /p>

After the expulsion of its top scorer, Ayman Al-Hussein, Iraq conceded two consecutive goals in stoppage time of the match, leaving the “Lions of Mesopotamia” team out of the tournament with great disappointment.

It is noteworthy that striker Ayman Al-Hussein (28 years old) entered history as the top scorer for Iraq in the Asian Cup with 6 goals, and is the top scorer in the current edition of the tournament, three goals behind each of the Japanese strikers Ayase Ueda and Qatari Akram Afif.
