On a night of regaining dignity and returning to the path of victories, Al Zawraa achieved a valuable and deserved win over their guests Diyala with a score of 2-0 this Saturday evening at the Al Zawraa Stadium in the capital Baghdad, in the twelfth round of the Iraq Stars League, thus ending a series of negative results and reconciling with their fans.

Despite Diyala's attempts to come back, which resulted in a goal by Nasim Sayoud in the 19th minute, the referee disallowed it for offside after reviewing the video technology.

Al Zawraa continued to dominate and apply intense pressure on Diyala's defensive areas, translating this absolute control into a second goal against the visitors through striker Michael Cabrera in the 21st minute, enhancing his team's lead and unsettling the opponent's calculations.

The match continued in the same manner in the second half, as Al Zawraa imposed a high tactical discipline in midfield and successfully managed the game intelligently, maintaining their lead by relying on the organization of their defensive lines and preventing Diyala from finding any gaps to come back into the match until the final whistle.

This important victory has resulted in a significant shift in the standings of the Iraq Stars League, with Al Zawraa jumping directly to third place with 21 points, competing strongly for a spot in the top four, while Diyala remains at 13 points in thirteenth place.
