The UAE Beat Iraq In An Epic Penalty Showdown To Make The FINALS Of The Gulf Cup

Avatar

The Gulf Cup is well underway and many tuned in for the nail-biting semi-final last night where the UAE team met Iraq for a match that resulted in a nail-biting finish.

The match went to penalties after each team failed to score during the 120 minutes of play or extra time, and it was down to the goalies to save the day.

And the UAE keeper showed up trumps.
