Aymen Hussein

A thumping header from Aymen Hussein drew Iraq level against Norway. But only briefly. Erling Haaland pressured Iraq goalkeeper Jalal Hassan, who could only kick the ball at the Manchester City forward. Haaland has two World Cup goals already — not that he knew all that much about his second.

IRAQ'S FIRST WORLD CUP GOAL IN 40 YEARS 😱 Aymen Hussein scores on his World Cup debut, leveling for Iraq with a powerful header. It's only the Lions of Mesopotamia's second-ever goal at the tournament 👏

A member of Iraq’s World Cup squad was held for questioning by U.S. immigration officials when he arrived in the country for the tournament on Friday. According to Reuters, striker Aymen Hussein, the Iraq vice-captain and one of the country’s key players, was held at Chicago’s O’Hare airport for almost seven hours after arriving with his international team-mates and staff members.
