This is a visual world.

Jordan, who had drawn with Korea in the Asian Cup group stage, advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating powerhouse Iraq in the round of 16.

In the second half, when the two teams were competing tightly, the celebration of an Iraqi player who scored a comeback goal became a variable in the game.

After scoring a goal in a 1-1 situation, Iraq’s Ayman Hussein ran in front of the audience, sat down on the floor, and made a celebration that looked like he was putting grass in his mouth with his left hand.

Earlier, following the Jordan team scored the first goal, they celebrated as if they were eating as a group, and Iraq’s Hussein imitated this.

In the Islamic world, eating with the left hand is taboo and carries the meaning of insulting the other person.

The referee did not hesitate to issue a yellow card due to the excessive celebration that provoked the Sangta team.

Hussein is sent off due to accumulating warnings.

In the end, Iraq was outnumbered and unable to stop Jordan’s two additional goals, and lost the game, preventing them from advancing to the quarterfinals.
