Al-Karma achieved an important and valuable victory at the expense of their host Al-Karkh with a score of one goal to none, in the match that brought the two teams together at the magical Ahmed Rady Stadium, as part of the 34th round of the Iraqi Stars League.

The match started at a fast pace, and it took only nine minutes for the midfield star Muntadhar Abdulameer to score the only goal of the match after a quick attacking sequence, translating it with a precise shot that settled in the net, giving his team an early field advantage.

The confrontation intensified dramatically from its early moments when the referee showed a red card to Al-Karkh player Jaafar Abis in the fifth minute after his violent foot tackle on Al-Karma defender Kasaga. The early expulsion imposed a difficult rhythm on Al-Karkh, who found themselves playing with fewer players against an organized opponent that had been performing steadily in recent times.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Al-Karkh tried to return to the match and create some opportunities from counterattacks, but Al-Karma's defense, led by Kasaga and his teammates, managed well with high balls and difficult situations. Meanwhile, Al-Karma opted for calm and safe passes to maintain their lead, with limited threats on Al-Karkh's goal.

With this victory, Al-Karma raised their points tally to 49, continuing to advance in the standings to strengthen their position in the upper half, while Al-Karkh remained at 40 points, dropping to the fifteenth position amid fluctuating performances in recent times.

Al-Karma aspires to finish the season in the best possible way, while Al-Karkh is required to review their performance and utilize the remaining rounds to escape the downward spiral, especially after the problems they have recently faced.
