NEWCASTLE, Jan 30 (AFP): The United Arab Emirates came from behind to beat 10-man Iraq 3-2 and clinch third place at the Asian Cup in an entertaining play-off Friday.
The Gulf side were 2-1 down at half-time but Ahmed Khalil's second strike and Ali Mabkhout's fifth of the tournament, from the penalty spot, stole the win.
