DOHA, Qatar — Iraq qualified for the men's soccer tournament at the Paris Olympics with a 2-1 win over Indonesia in the third-place playoff at the Under-23 Asian Cup. Ali Jasim's extra-time winner means Iraq takes Asia's third automatic place at the Olympics. Japan and Uzbekistan who meet in Friday's cup final have both already qualified for the Paris Games. There is still one more opportunity for Indonesia. It will face Guinea in a May 9 playoff for a place in Paris.
