It could be worst. Paul Sabbag suffered a terrible foul inside the area that generated the tying penalty for Syria against Iran for the round of 16 of the Asia Cup 2024.
The first half was largely dominated by Iran. In fact, the white and green team made it 1-0 through Mehdi Taremi penalty kick.
However, the second half was different. The Syrian coach decided to put on the field Paul Sabbag, thus giving it greater offensive weight. Thus, at 61′, Syria strikes.
The Alianza Lima attacker gained the baseline and received a strong foul from the Iranian goalkeeper. After the VAR review, the central judge charged a penalty, which was charged in a majestic manner by Omar Kharbin.
