Al-Nafit achieved a valuable and important victory against their guest Duhok with a score of 1-0, in the match that brought the two teams together on Tuesday evening at the magical Ahmed Rady Stadium, as part of the 32nd round of the Iraqi Premier League.

The only goal of the match came from player Ahmed Khaled in the 54th minute, after a balanced first half that saw a relative advantage for Duhok in terms of possession and chances, but Al-Nafit knew how to exploit its decisive moments and snatch the three points with disciplined performance and solid defensive tactics.

The victory gave Al-Nafit a strong boost in the standings, raising their points to 48, reinforcing their position in eighth place, while Duhok's points remained at 47 in seventh place, with seven postponed matches for the northern team that could make a difference in the race for the top positions.

Despite the loss, Duhok delivered a good performance at times, but they lacked the final touch and focus in front of the goal, while Al-Nafit's defense line and goalkeeper excelled in clearing several dangerous balls.

This loss is a blow to Duhok's ambitions, which seeks to compete for the top positions, while Al-Nafit succeeded in confirming its defensive strength, continuing to stand out as one of the best backlines in the league alongside Al-Shorta.
