Oman advances, Iraq eliminated
The Omani national football team has qualified for the semi-finals of the Gulf Cup 27 for the second time in its history after advancing by drawing lots against its Iraqi counterpart, as both teams were tied in points, goals, goal difference, and disciplinary records. This made the draw the decisive factor that granted Oman a spot in the semifinals. This occurred after Oman finished with the same points and goals as Iraq in Group One, with both teams having scored 4 goals and received 8 yellow cards, resulting in a tied tiebreaker. Saudi Arabia advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Iraq, and the winner of the second group was determined between the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. This is the second time in Gulf Cup history that a draw has been used to determine qualification, the first being in 2002. The Oman team is now awaiting the results of the final round of the second group, where the United Arab Emirates currently tops the group with 6 points.
