52 min: Oar has been very impressive tonight. He makes good from the left wing, then shuttles the ball inside for Kruse, who in turn finds Cahill. Iraq bustle well, and Cahill's return pass, intended to find Kruse on the edge of the Iraqi D, is cut out. But that's a wee bit better from Australia, whose passing has been nervous and erratic since the restart.
25 min: Oar turns and slips away brilliantly from three white shirts in the centre circle. That's wonderful skill. He bustles down the pitch and assumes the role of playmaker awhile, prompting this way, then that. After a couple of one-twos which don't come off, he goes on a sortie down the left, and clips a ball into the box. He claims for a penalty as the ball clatters into Ahmed, but it's a cheeky shout because the ball has clearly hit the poor Iraqi not on his hand, but his front tail. Ouch, oof, ooyah.
