Baghdad – IA
At 7:30 pm today, Wednesday, Al-Shaab International Stadium will host the derby match between Al-Zawraa and Al-Talaba at the conclusion of the eighteenth round of the Iraq Stars League for professional football.
The Seagulls are looking forward to correcting the course after a series of disappointing results for their supporters, the most recent of which was the loss to Zakho in the previous round by one goal to nothing, in order to advance to the semi-finals, and missed a victory for the sixth match in a row. Therefore, it hopes that today’s match will be a gateway to compensate for its failures and preserve its waters. His face in the competition, after his hopes of winning the title evaporated, given the points difference with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, the leaders.
For his part, Al-Aneq enters the match hoping to deliver the perfect performance that qualifies him to overcome his rival, and make up for his previous match in which he failed in front of Al-Hedoud with a clean goal. Therefore, the derby will be an appropriate opportunity for coach Ahmed Salah’s battalion, in order to restore balance and advance in the rankings.
The confrontation is scheduled to be led by a Saudi arbitration team composed of arena referee Khaled Al-Taris, assisted by the duo, Muhammad Al-Abakri and Abdul Rahim Al-Shammari.
