The football team Al-Zawraa climbed to second place, scoring 40 points, just two points behind the leader, the team Zakho, which has 42 points. At the same time, the team Karbala is stuck at 15 points. The players of Al-Zawraa missed numerous excellent opportunities to score goals, while professional Ibrahim Tomyoa scored the only goal in the match in the 51st minute.
Despite many doubting the ability of Al-Shorta to maintain the position of the leader due to failures in the Asian Champions League, the footballers focused on the Iraq championship and showed a different level of play. When the team was struggling in the Asian championship, it compensated for its losses in league games.
The team Al-Zawraa continues to press on the leader Zakho, winning 1-0 against the guests from Karbala at their stadium in Baghdad. This match took place in the framework of the 21st round of the Iraq football championship. The Al-Shorta team has a chance to take the top spot in the league if they win two postponed matches against the teams Naft Al-Basra and Duhok. A victory in those would elevate them to 44 points, just two points behind the current leader Zakho with 42 points. The match was marked by the removal of the player Aus Mohammed from the team Karbala in the 30th minute.
