Iraqi national team coach Jesus Casas confirmed on Monday, that in a big tournament like AFC, a player is not to be sent off for celebrating a goal.

Casas added, "It is not possible to send off a player because of his celebration, and this does not exist in football in the same case for Jordan players. The referee did nothing and there were no penalties," said Casas during the press conference after the end of the match, attended by the reporter of the Iraqi News Agency - INA.

Iraqi national football team lost on Monday, against its Jordanian counterpart 3-2 in AFC.
