Fahad Talib, goalkeeper of the Iraqi national team, and Al- Talaba team played a major role in their team's defeat. In the third minute, Fahad Talib made a fatal error by sending the ball strangely to one of Al-Minaa's attackers, who then passed it to Mahmoud Abdel Rahim, who promptly deposited it into the net to everyone's astonishment. Fahad Talib then made another mistake after slowing down to clear a ground ball, which reached Al-Minaa's professional player Kiesinde Rosine. Al-Minaa First Football Club put an end to its consecutive losses in the Iraqi Stars League by defeating its host, Al-Talaba, 2-1. The match, held on the Diyali Stadium in Diyali province, was part of the 13th round of the competition.
