Zidane Iqbal

Active in first WC start

Iqbal generated one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Monday's 3-0 loss to France.

Analysis: Iqbal ranked second among Iraq players and fifth in the game with 66 accurate passes against France. The midfielder also took one corner kick and attempted a couple of dribbles throughout the match. After taking over the starting spot from a more offensive-minded Ali Al Hamadi, Iqbal will push for increased involvement in the more favorable clash against Senegal.
