    The coach of the Iraqi national football team, Jesús Casas García, dedicated the win in the match on Monday, and the qualification of the Iraqi national team, Gulf Cup Final 25, to the lives of the victims of the traffic accident that caused the death cases on the road leading from Nasiriyah to Basra.
     
    "The opponent was stubborn, strong and organized, and most of their elements were those who used to play side by side for quite some time," said Casas in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency – INA.
     
    He added, "But we studied the opponent in a good way, and we knew that our striker line could penetrate the hearts of the defense. We deliberately, in many minutes during the playtime, adopted long passes in the attacking of the third area and deep into the Qatari team's arena."
     
    "All eyes are now aspiring to win the 25th Gulf title, as we have previously confirmed that we deal with each match separately. It was not logical to talk about winning the title with our first match, but now, after we have reached the final, we can focus, from now on, on winning the championship cup, although The difficulty of the task and the presence of a competitor who aspires to the same thing,” he highlighted.
     
    Casas explained that "in today's plan, we took away the Qatar national team of its preferred way of playing, and we succeeded in that despite the mistake that caused the Qatar national team's goal, but in football, it is impossible for mistakes not to occur."
