It is half time now. We expected fair play in this penultimate match of Asian Cup 2007. However, at 37th minute, an incident happened. This incident involved Iraq's number 10 and captain and star striker Younis Mahmoud and Saudi Arabia's 19. The Saudi player got his face quite close to Younis Mahmoud's face and the Iraqi captain made use of the situation by acting as if his face was shot by a shot gun from a point blank range.
Fortunately, Mark Shield, the Australian referee got this one right. He knew Younis Mahmoud was acting, but he reckoned that there was a contact between the two players. So, he took a diplomatic stance by giving both players a yellow card each.
The second half is resuming soon. The second half can only get better!
