Karbala Club marked a sad end to its journey in the Iraq Stars League, as it officially descended to the first division after a harsh defeat against Nawruz with a score of 1-0, in the match that took place this evening as part of the 36th round of the championship.

The fatal goal for Nawruz came from the foreign player Banoum in the 90th minute, after a match that was evenly contested at times, but Karbala's lack of offensive decisiveness and defensive cohesion cost them dearly, ending the match with another loss that was like a death knell in a season to forget.

This relegation is the natural conclusion to a series of negative results that plagued the team throughout the season, as it suffered from poor performance, lack of experience, and administrative and technical changes that clearly affected its stability. Despite its attempts in the final rounds to escape the danger zones, the few points it gathered were not enough to save it from falling.

With this relegation, Karbala becomes the first team to officially leave the spotlight league, while the competition continues among teams like Al-Hudood and Basra Oil for escaping relegation, in rounds that will be crucial to determine the other relegated teams.
