Police Tighten the Noose on Air Force with a Tough Win Over Al-Gharaf

Sunday 10-05-2026
Al-Shorta Club achieved a valuable victory over its guest Al-Gharaf with a goal without reply, in the match that brought them together on Sunday evening at Al-Qafas Stadium as part of the 34th round of the Iraqi Stars League.

The victory kept the 'Harp' in the competition circle for the league title, and postponed the decision until the final rounds.

Al-Shorta did not delay in imposing its style, as the only goal of the match came through Abdul Razzaq Qassem in the sixth minute, giving his team an early advantage that helped manage the match calmly.

After the goal, the team entered a structured defensive pattern relying on counterattacks, which closed the spaces in front of Al-Gharaf, who tried to come back in the score but without sufficient offensive effectiveness.

The win raised Al-Shorta's tally to 73 points in second place, reducing the gap with the leader Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya to 4 points with 3 rounds remaining, after the 'Falcons' unexpected loss to Al-Karma.

On the other hand, Al-Gharaf's tally froze at 39 points in 14th place, practically ensuring its stay in the spotlight league without entering relegation calculations.
