Lebanon 32-14 Ireland: Match in Pictures

The best of the action as Lebanon revitalised their quarter-final hopes

By Milly McEvoy at Leigh Sports Village 


Lebanon’s half-back pairing were on fire as the Cedars defeated Ireland 32-14 for their first win of the Rugby League World Cup 2021. 

World Cup debutant Khaled Rajab set up Reece Robinson for the opening score before captain Mitchell Moses turned provider for Jacob Kiraz. 

Brad Morkos extended the Cedars’ lead before two tries from Louis Senior either side of half-time gave Ireland slim hope. 

Elie El-Zakhem and Abbas Miski made sure of Lebanon’s second-ever win at a World Cup and ensured the Group C battle for the quarter-finals would go down to the final round.
