Iraq booked their place in the AFC Asian Cup final after beating Korea Republic 4-3 on penalties, following a 0-0 draw on Wednesday.

The Arab nation had to thank goalkeeper Noor Sabri, who saved the crucial fourth penalty from Korea's Yeom Ki-Hun, before Kim Jung-Woo hit the post to send the Iraqi's through.

The game was no more than a dull stalemate, as both teams rarely produced any danger on the two goalkeepers.

Iraq will face the winner from the Japan-Saudi Arabia clash later on Wednesday.
