Flashback Photo of the Month

This month in 2013, Al Shorta beat Al Talaba 3-0 in a scintillating Baghdad Derby performance to clinch the 2012-13 Iraqi Premier League title. The Harps needed to beat their rivals in the league's final round to ensure they would finish ahead of Erbil and Al Quwa Al Jawiya, and Hussein Kareem gave Al Shorta the perfect start with a lovely goal in the first half. Minusu Buba and Dhurgham Ismail added two more in the second period as Al Shorta secured the famous golden shield at Al Shaab Stadium.
