Mahmoud, 31, made light of a cauldron atmosphere in Canberra to chip a "panenka" penalty past Iranian keeper Alireza Haghighi as Iraq snatched the shoot-out 7-6. "I did it because I wanted to send a message to my players **t to worry, look how easy it is to score," said Mahmoud, who scored Iraq's second as it finished 3-3 after extra time. Friday's upset win over the three-time champions puts Iraq into a semi-final against South Korea and tantalisingly close to a second fairytale triumph in eight years.
