Police Overwhelms Amanat Baghdad with Four Goals and Continues Pursuit of Al-Jawiya
The Police achieved a broad victory over their guest Amanat Baghdad with a score of 4-1, in the match that brought the two teams together this evening at the People's International Stadium as part of the 27th round of the Iraq Stars League. This win raised 'Al-Qithara's' tally to 59 points, strengthening their position in second place in the standings.
The Police did not give their guest more than 4 minutes before Mahmoud Al-Mawas opened the scoring with an early goal that quickly gave the hosts the advantage and disrupted Amanat Baghdad's plans. The attacking pressure continued from the coach's squad, with Lionel Atiba adding the second goal in the 20th minute after a well-organized play ended in the net of Amanat.
The Police continued their threat, and Ahmed Farhan succeeded in shaking the net for the third time, but the assistant referee raised his flag announcing an offside, canceling the goal.
Before the first half breathed its last, in the 46th minute of injury time, the Police scored again, but the referee canceled the goal once more, ending the first half with the Police leading 2-0 despite scoring 4 goals, of which only two were counted.
As the second half began, the Police quickly reaffirmed their superiority, with Ahmed Farhan compensating for his canceled goal by officially scoring the third goal in the 51st minute, widening the gap to three goals and making the task more difficult for Amanat Baghdad.
Amanat refused to surrender and tried to return to the match, earning a penalty kick in the 57th minute, which Montather Abdul Amir successfully converted, reducing the gap to 3-1 and giving some hope to his teammates. But the Police absorbed the guests' enthusiasm and maintained control over the game's proceedings until the final minutes.
In the 96th minute of injury time, Bassam Shaker concluded the goal festival by scoring the fourth goal for the Police, after which the referee blew the final whistle with a big win for Al-Qithara, 4-1.
With this victory, the Police raised their tally to 59 points in second place, continuing to chase the leader Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya and maintaining their hopes of competing for the league title with crucial rounds remaining. The team delivered a strong offensive performance and could have achieved a bigger result if not for the cancellation of two goals due to offside.
On the other hand, Amanat Baghdad's tally froze at 24 points in 18th place, complicating their position in the battle to escape the relegation zone. The team conceded 4 goals and settled for a single penalty goal, needing a quick review of their situation before the upcoming rounds.
