The Maysan Oil team continues its excellent performances in the second phase of the Iraqi Stars League, after achieving a well-deserved victory over Najaf Club with a score of (3-1), in the match that brought the two teams together on the field of Maysan, as part of the 37th round of the competition.

The hosts did not wait long to impose their superiority, as star Ali Lateef opened the scoring in the second minute of the match, after a catastrophic defensive mistake from Najaf defender Ali Faiz, who inaccurately returned the ball to goalkeeper Sirhank Mohsen, allowing Lateef to seize the ball and score an easy goal.

The same player later showcased his high individual skills, when he received a ball on the edge of the penalty area in the 23rd minute, and shot it powerfully from a distance to find the net for a second brilliant goal, confirming his team's clear superiority.

Only three minutes later, Maysan doubled Najaf's wounds with a third goal signed by player Dimi Dawood in the 26th minute, after a precise pass from Ali Lateef towards Alaa Saad, who dribbled past the goalkeeper and pulled the ball to the left side, before delivering a precise cross to Dawood, who skillfully placed it in the net, practically sealing the first half's result with a clean three-goal lead.

In the second half, Najaf tried to improve its offensive image and reduce the deficit, succeeding in doing so with a goal scored by player Iyayi Itimon in the 67th minute from a powerful shot outside the area, which was quite similar to Maysan's second goal in terms of style and location.

With this victory, Maysan Oil raised its tally to 51 points, confirming its position in the safe zone of the overall standings, and finishing its season relatively steadily in the middle of the table, while Najaf's tally remained at 43 points, continuing its struggles in the final stages, amidst a season that witnessed a noticeable decline in performance and results, especially in the second half after the dismissal of its previous coach Abdul Ghani Shahid.
