Al-Karkh coach Ahmed Abdul Jabbar spoke after the match:

"The match was not easy, especially since we are facing a team fighting for survival, but our young players have proven once again that they can handle pressure. I am completely satisfied with the spirit and commitment on the field."

He continued: "We were close to winning after Benjamin's goal, but Al-Minaa's reaction was quick, and we made a small mistake that cost us the equalizer. Nevertheless, a draw away from home under the current circumstances is considered a positive result."

He added: "This team is built on young elements, and our goals are not just results, but also building a generation capable of representing Al-Karkh and the national teams in the future."

He concluded by saying: "We have strong matches ahead, and we will continue to work on correcting mistakes and improving performance, and I promise Al-Karkh fans that the team will show a stronger face in the upcoming rounds."
