BASRA, Iraq (Interstat) — Ahmad Zamel scored in the 82nd minute to lift Naft Al-Basra to a 1-0 victory over Newroz in an Iraqi League match Wednesday at Al Faihaa Stadium. The result defied a pre-game projection that gave Newroz a slight probability to win. The match was a physical affair, featuring five yellow cards. Naft Al-Basra remains unbeaten this season, while Newroz continues to search for its first win.
