Iraq living in dreamland
Surprise packets Iraq secured a quarter-final spot in the Olympic football tournament with a free-flowing 2-0
victory over Costa Rica here on Sunday.
The Iraqis, back in Olympic football after a 16-year absence, remained unbeaten with second-half goals to Hawar Mulla Mohammed and substitute Mahdi Karim to lead Group D on six points.
Iraq, who opened their campaign with a thrilling 4-2 win over 10-man Portugal last Thursday, were again full value for their win and dominated the second half against the central Americans after a scoreless first half.
Portugal opened their account in Group D with their Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in a 2-1 win over Morocco in Heraklion.
Italy, who have not won an Olympic football medal since winning gold in 1936, took a big step towards the quarter-finals with a 3-2 victory over Japan in Group B in Volos.
The Italians, who drew 2-2 with Ghana on Thursday, scored twice in the opening eight minutes through Daniele De Rossi and Alberto Gilardino before Yuki Abe pulled one back for Japan in the 21st minute.
Gilardino made the game safe with his second goal to give Italy a 31 buffer at halftime and coasted through the second half with the Japanese getting a second goal through Daiki Takamatsu in injury time.
Ghana came back from a goal down to beat Paraguay 2-1 with two super goals by Kwabena Tiero and Stephan Appiah in the space of three
minutes late in the second half of their Group B match in Thessaloniki.
Iraq, who made the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup last month, thrilled their vociferous following with another sparkling display of attacking football, running the Costa Ricans ragged in the midfield and securing maximum points with two well-taken goals.
Hawar broke the deadlock in the 67th minute when he scored at the second attempt after a corner from Salih Sadir was headed back in to the goal square by Bassim Abbas.
Mahdi got the second when he met a lovely cross from Hawar from the left 18 minutes from time.
Italy took an early lead in their match thanks to slack Japanese defending leaving AS Roma midfielder de Rossi free to score after just three minutes.
The Italians extended their lead five minutes later when a long punt by Matteo Ferrari found Parma striker Gilardino, who pushed the ball through the legs of a hapless Abe before sidefooting home.
Italy looked to be coasting but Abe got one back for the Japanese midway through the half with a spectacular 25-metre free kick.
However, the Italians regained their two-goal buffer after 37 minutes when Gilardino was left alone by two defenders and headed home a Emiliano Moretti pass from the left wing.
The only goal of the second half came two minutes into injury time when Takamatsu headed home another of Abe's precision dead balls but it was too late for Japan to salvage a point.
Ronaldo opened the scoring for the Portuguese in the 40th minute and Costa the skipper doubled the lead in the 73rd minute before Morocco pulled one back through Bouabid Bouden five minutes from time.
