Superleague Round 11: No surprise as #1 Al Naft defeat Al-Tadamoun

What a coincidence that all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Superleague top team - Al Naft (7-0) had no problems winning another game on Thursday. This time they crushed eighth ranked Al-Tadamoun (3-4) in Najef 80-56. Undefeated Al Naft have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 7-0 record. Al-Tadamoun lost third consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with four games lost. They share it with Al Shorta. Al Naft are looking forward to face league's second-placed Nift Al-Basra on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Al-Tadamoun will play against Al-Semawah (#11) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that they can break losing series.
An interesting game took place in where 4th placed Al-Jameaa (4-3) was upset on its own court by ninth ranked Ghaz Al-Shamal (4-5) 86-77. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Al-Jameaa. Ghaz Al-Shamal moved-up to seventh place. Al-Jameaa at the other side dropped to the fifth position with three games lost. They share it with Al Hilla. Ghaz Al-Shamal will play against bottom-ranked Nift Al-Shamal (#13) in Kirkuk in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Al-Jameaa will have a break next round.

In the last game of round 11 Zakho won against Al Kahraba on the opponent's court 67-63.
