/ The Iraqi Al-Zawraa Club team bid farewell to the AFC Cup, this evening, Tuesday, despite achieving a victory over its guest, the Bahraini club Al-Riffa, in the third group competitions of the AFC Cup.
The match took place at Basra International Stadium, at seven in the evening, and ended in favor of “The Seagulls” with a score of 2-1.
The first half ended in a positive draw with one goal for both teams. Bahraini Riffa scored first through Joel Vinicius in the tenth minute, and Al-Zawraa was able to adjust the score in the 41st minute through player Hassan Abdul Karim.
In the second half, Al-Zawraa scored a second goal through Collins Obari in the 83rd minute.
The match witnessed the expulsion of Riffa player Abdulaziz Khalid in the 69th minute, completing the match with ten players.
Although Al-Zawraa won over the Bahraini team, it bid farewell to the Asian Championship after the Lebanese Al-Ahed team achieved victory over the Syrian Al-Fatwa team. Thus, the Lebanese team qualified at the expense of Al-Zawraa, which would have qualified if the Lebanese Al-Ahed and Syrian Al-Fatwa match had ended in a draw.
