A goalless draw overshadowed the match between Zakho and Najaf that took place this evening at Najaf Stadium, as part of the 36th round of the Iraqi Stars League, in a game that did not meet expectations in terms of performance and opportunities.

Despite both teams needing a positive result—Zakho to strengthen its position at the top of the standings, and Najaf to finish the season in the best possible way—the match lacked offensive effectiveness and was characterized by excessive caution from both sides.

The Najaf team tried to make an impact in the first half of the match, while Zakho had greater ball possession in the second half, but there was no real threat to either goal, except for some individual attempts that did not yield any significant results.

With this draw, Zakho raises its tally to 64 points, while Najaf adds another point to its total, reaching 43 points, with two rounds remaining in the competition.
