The student team won today, Thursday, against the Air Force team with a score of one goal, in the 11th round of the Iraqi Premier League football competition.
The match took place at the International City Stadium in Baghdad at 8:00 PM, and the first half ended in a goalless draw. The pace of the game increased in the second half, with both teams relying on open play and exchanging dangerous attacks, which were not capitalized on as required, until the decisive moment came in the 82nd minute when student player Jaafar Salmani scored the winning goal, granting his team three points.
The Iraqi Football Association assigned the management of the match between the Air Force and the student teams, in the 11th round of the Iraqi Stars League, to a Kuwaiti refereeing crew, marking the first collaboration of its kind in the competition. The crew consisted of referee Abdul Rahman Al-Kindi as the main referee, assisted by referees Abdullah Al-Jamali and Saud Al-Shammari.
With this result, the student team raised its points total to 17, in seventh place, while the Air Force team's points remained at 12, in tenth place.
