With both sides respective fates having already been decided, Jordan were out to shine in front of their fans while Iraq were seeking victory as a balm after missing out on automatic qualification.

It was the visitors who threatened first, with Aymen Hussein's two headers in the opening six minutes denied by Jordan goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila.

Nizar Al Rashdan then missed with a header of his own in the 18th minute as Iraq struggled to break down the Jordanian defence.

Jordan's first look at goal came in the 34th minute but Yazan Al Naimat couldn't steer his header on target as the sides went into the break on level terms.

The hosts upped their tempo after the break with Ali Olwan and Mousa Al Ta'mari having attempts which didn't really trouble the Iraq defence.

The stalemate was finally broken in the 77th minute, with Iraq taking the lead through substitute Sajjad Jasim, who scored with a right footed shot off Hasan Abdulkareem's cross following a set-piece situation.
