Baghdad – IA
Karbala International Stadium will host, at exactly seven o’clock on Monday evening, an important confrontation in the <a href="http://www.time.news/al-shorta-draws-with-uzbekistans-pakhtakor-in-the-asian-elite-club-championship/" title="Al-Shorta draws with Uzbekistan's Pakhtakor in the Asian Elite Club Championship“>Asian Elite Club Championship, bringing together the Al-Shorta team and its guest, Pakhtakor of Uzbekistan, in the third round of the continental championship.
The two teams enter the match with a common desire to score full points, given their position in the ranking table and their results in the first and second rounds, especially since Al-Shorta tied against Al-Nassr Saudi Arabia at the beginning of their journey (1-1), while they suffered a huge loss against Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia by five clean points, and in return they stumbled. Pakhtakor opened its participation by losing to Al-Wasl of the Emirates in Tashkent with a goal without a response, then tied in the second round with Persepolis of Iran by a similar goal. Therefore, today’s match represents an ideal opportunity for them to correct the course and move forward towards competing for the qualifying cards to the second round.
