Highlights from the 2023 Kings Cup semifinal between India and Iraq include India taking an early lead but Iraq mounting a comeback and winning in a penalty shootout.
India gained an early lead in the 2023 Kings Cup semifinal between India and Iraq owing to a brilliant goal by Manveer in the first half. But in the second half, an unexpected self-goal by the Iraqi goalkeeper brought the score even again. Iraq managed to tie both leads despite India’s heroic attempts, sending the match into a penalty shootout.
There is no additional time in the Kings Cup, therefore when the score was 2-2, the game went directly into a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, India suffered a setback since Brandon Fernandes failed to convert India’s first penalty, which proved to be the game-changing factor.
