Hussein leads Iraq’s scoring charts in World cup Qualifying 3rd round this season with two goals, while Jasim remains their top assist provider in the competition with two. Muhanad Ali, Osama Rashid and Rebin Sulaka have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Iraq’s attack.

Meanwhile, Kuwait’s offensive unit, with Juan Antonio Pizzi steering the side, has leaned on Mohammad Daham, their main scorer, and Yousef Nasser, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Daham has already scored two goals in World cup Qualifying 3rd round this season, while Majed has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists.
