Match Info

Iraq U20 secured a second consecutive victory over the United Arab Emirates U20, winning 2-0 in an international friendly on January 10, 2026. Following up on their 1-0 win just days earlier, Iraq produced another disciplined performance in the 20:00 kick-off to complete a successful double-header against their rivals. Iraq controlled the tempo from the outset and opened the scoring in the 25th minute with a headed goal from a corner. They doubled their lead early in the second half after a clinical breakaway, leaving the UAE defense exposed. The home team struggled to find any rhythm or response, with Iraq's midfield effectively shutting down any creative avenues. The comprehensive nature of this victory will be a concern for the UAE coaching staff, while Iraq's U20 squad appears to be in a confident vein of form ahead of future tournaments. The Iraq manager commended his team's consistency, and the UAE coach admitted his side was second-best in all departments on the night.
