Oil secured a valuable point from the encounter with the leader Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya after their 0-0 draw last night at the Madina Stadium in Baghdad, within the 26th round of the Iraqi Stars League, in a match characterized by caution and few clear chances on both goals.

The first half came at a slow pace with a relative advantage for Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in possession and attempts to penetrate from the flanks, without any real danger in front of Oil's goal, ending the first half with a goalless draw as both sides clearly focused on closing spaces.

With the start of the second half, the tempo increased slightly, and Oil almost took the lead in the 53rd minute when Hussam Jadallah's shot hit the crossbar in the match's most dangerous chance. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya responded with attempts that did not find their way to the net amid good defensive organization by the visitors. The final minutes saw ball rotation and mutual attempts without changing the result, ending the match in a 0-0 draw.

With this draw, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya raised their tally to 60 points at the top of the standings, 4 points ahead of their pursuer Al-Shorta, while Oil's tally rose to 34 points in 11th place.
