Unimpressive output Friday
Al Hamadi logged one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception during Iraq's 5-0 loss Friday against Senegal.
Analysis: After not starting against France, Al Hamadi was promoted for Iraq's must-win game against Senegal. Though the Iraqis needed a lot of goals, they did not even get any shots attempted from their elevated striker. Most of Al Hamadi's impact came defensively, a stark contrast to his other appearances. During the World Cup's group stage, he logged six inaccurate shots and two chances created offensively.
Three shots vs Norway
Al Hamadi registered three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-1 defeat to Norway.
Analysis: Hamadi made his World Cup debut against Norway on Tuesday, recording three shots, five recoveries, and three duels won across 59 minutes of action. An experienced international who has featured for various Premier League and Championship clubs, he recently concluded his debut campaign with Luton Town, contributing one goal and one assist over 14 appearances. His attacking partnership with Ayman Hussein will be critical for Iraq as they face difficult upcoming group-stage matchups against France and Senegal.
