/ Al-Zawraa Club defeated its host Erbil with ten players, with a score of 1-0, in the eleventh round of the Iraqi Premier League.

The match was held at Franso Hariri Stadium today, Saturday, at 5 pm.

The first half ended in a goalless draw, and in the second half, Al-Zawraa scored its goal through player Hassan Abdul Karim in the 62nd minute of the match.

The match was played on a muddy pitch due to heavy rains in Erbil and the poor functioning of the stadium’s drainage system, which deprived the enjoyment of watching the match, the technical level and the real performance of the players.

The match witnessed the expulsion of Al-Zawraa professional player Collins Obari in the 39th minute of the first half for his deliberate roughness and multiple cards, so Al-Nawras completed the match with ten players.

The match was managed by a refereeing crew consisting of Ahmed Kazem as central referee, Karrar Abdul Karim as first assistant, Alaa Abbas as second assistant, Salem Amer as fourth referee, and Youssef Saeed as VAR referee.
