Saudi Arabia salvage 1-1 draw against Iraq in Riyadh - in pictures



A stoppage-time equaliser from Abdulaziz Al Bishi salvaged a draw for Saudi Arabia against Iraq in Riyadh on Monday evening.

Iraq took the lead on 71 minutes through Muhanad Ali and looked set to hold on for all three points until Al Bishi struck in the 94th minutes at the King Saud University Stadium.

It means both teams sign off from the four-team mini-tournament - Brazil face Argentina on Tuesday - with a defeat and a draw, the hosts having lost 2-0 to Brazil on Saturday while Iraq were thrashed 4-0 by Argentina.
