The German's wish was granted, and Iraq will take on the South Koreans in the Sydney semi-final on Monday having prevailed on penalties after 120 minutes of tense, emotional and draining drama in Canberra. Iraq coach Radhi Shenaishil said he was racing against time to get his players back into game shape.
