Iraq secured a narrow 1–0 victory over Indonesia in World Cup qualification Round 4, Group B, with a clinical display of defensive discipline despite being outshot by their visitors. Iraq managed just seven attempts, converting one into the decisive goal, whilst Indonesia pressed with nine shots but registered only one on target, reflecting their inability to break down a resolute Iraqi rearguard. Iraq's goalkeeper made five saves at a 50% save percentage, proving crucial in a match where both sides struggled to create clear-cut opportunities. Indonesia's 4–2–3–1 formation offered greater attacking width, yet the visitors' attacking play lacked the precision needed to trouble Iraq's 4–4–2 setup. The result leaves Iraq in a commanding position within the group, whilst Indonesia must regroup and improve their conversion rate in subsequent qualifiers.
