The Iraqi captain Younis Mahmoud, who was named best player of the tournament after scoring the winning goal in the final, said the team had been determined to win after watching a television report from Iraq with the mother of one of the victims.
"There was this mother who had seen her little boy killed by a bomb after the match and she was saying he had been sacrificed so that we would win the match," Mahmoud said.
"We knew we had to win the match for her and so many other people."
