Algeria continued their title defense, securing a place in the quarterfinals with a 2-0 victory over already-qualified Iraq on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Bahrain achieved their first morale-boosting win, defeating Sudan 3-1 in the final round of Group D matches at the Arab Cup in Qatar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Algeria topped the group, finishing with 7 points, one point ahead of Iraq. Bahrain (3 points) and Sudan (1 point) were eliminated, finishing third and fourth respectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Algeria will face the UAE in the quarterfinals, while Iraq will play Jordan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In the first match, Algeria took the lead just before halftime with a header from Mohamed Tougai following a set piece (45+1). They doubled their advantage early in the second half with an own goal after a dangerous cross from Yacine Brahimi caused confusion between goalkeeper Fahad Talib and defender Saad Natiq, with the ball deflecting off the latter and into the net (46).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iraqi national team suffered two blows: first, Hussein Ali was sent off with a red card for a reckless challenge on Brahimi in the fifth minute, and then Mohanad Ali was forced off with an injury (32).<\/strong><\/p>\n

After two defeats against Iraq and Algeria, the Bahraini national team secured a morale-boosting victory over Sudan, with goals from Mahdi Abdul-Jabbar (37), Mohammed Al-Rumaihi (79, penalty), and Mahdi Humaidan (89), while Yasser Muzammil scored Sudan’s lone goal (72).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match also saw Sudan’s defender Mohamed Saeed receive a red card (56).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
