Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Ahmed Radhi Humaiesh Al-Salehi was an Iraqi footballer who played as a striker. Nicknamed "Al-Saher" in his playing days and regarded as one of Iraq's and Asia's best players of all time, Radhi scored the first Iraqi goal at the FIFA World Cup in its 1986 edition, a low shot to the corner of the net against Belgium in a 2–1 defeat. He was voted the Asian Footballer of the Year in 1988. — Wikipedia
