Al-Zawraa settled for a goalless draw against their guest Al-Gharaf in the match that brought the two teams together as part of the tenth round of the Iraqi Stars League, causing the Seagulls to lose two important points in the competition for the top positions.

The first half witnessed a clear advantage for Al-Zawraa in terms of possession and field control, as the Seagulls players imposed their rhythm on the course of the game and intensified their attempts on Al-Gharaf's goal seeking an early goal, but the haste in the final touch and the brilliance of the opponent's defensive organization prevented that.

On the other hand, Al-Gharaf relied on defensive discipline and good positioning in their back areas, resorting to quick counterattacks in an attempt to surprise Al-Zawraa's defense, without succeeding in seriously threatening the goal.

With the start of the second half, the features of the match did not change much, as Al-Zawraa continued their offensive pressure and ball control, but the offensive effectiveness was absent once again, while Al-Gharaf maintained their defensive commitment until the final whistle, ending the match in a goalless draw.

With this result, Al-Zawraa raised their tally to 18 points to occupy fifth place in the standings, while Al-Gharaf reached 13 points in thirteenth place, with both teams sharing one point each.
