In a special interview before the team left the pitch, Al-Kahraba coach Radi Shneishil expressed his dissatisfaction with the loss to Zakho by three goals to none, indicating that the performance was not up to the required level, especially defensively.

He said: "The result is heavy and does not reflect our ambitions; we hoped to come out with a positive result, but individual mistakes cost us a lot."

He clarified: "Zakho exploited the opportunities perfectly, while we did not manage the situation well in the final third of the pitch, in addition to a lack of focus at critical moments."

He continued: "Our team has good elements, but we need to review some tactical and technical matters in the upcoming period."

He added: "Every match represents a lesson, and we must correct the course quickly because the standings do not allow for further regression."

He concluded: "I have great confidence in the players, and we will work to come back strongly in the upcoming matches, as the competition is not over yet."
