Lebanon in Asia … remember two eternal goals before Iraq

The memories of Lebanon in Asia are summarized in a single tournament, especially in 2000, when the Mediterranean country hosted the tournament on its territory.

Lebanon is participating in the latest edition to be launched in the UAE, but fans remember their famous match against Iraq and goals of Abbas Shahrour and Musa Hajij, who are still in the memory because of their beauty.

In the first match against Iran, the team lost 4-0 to Iraq, followed by Iraq in the second round.

Lebanese fans thought they would see no purpose for the people and the public, but that match turned a blind eye when Abbas Shahrour arrived in the 28th minute to launch a shot at the bird that was shaking the stadiums Camille Chamoun sports stadium in Beirut.

While Iraq was trying to boost its score with a third goal, South Korean referee Kim Young-jou scored a free kick for Raja Al-Arz, the big star Musa Hageej, who was placing the goalkeeper in his own way in front of 30,000 spectators.

It is true that Lebanon did not qualify for the next round and took the last place in the group after a draw against Thailand, but his match against Iraq, especially its goals, remains remarkable in memory of all.
