Zaid Tahseen

Receives yellow card in loss

Tahseen had two shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Norway. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.

Analysis: Tahseen endured a difficult start to his World Cup campaign, notably committing a major error that led to a goal and picking up a yellow card in the match against Norway. The defender struggled to maintain composure, finishing with just a 79 percent pass accuracy while winning two duels and committing three fouls. Having only begun his professional career in 2019, Tahseen has exclusively played domestically in Iraq before playing in Uzbekistan for Pakhtakor in 2025, leaving him without the high-level experience needed to handle the intensity of this World Cup.
