The Erbil–Al-Qasim match was awarded as a 3–0 win to Erbil, as Al-Qasim did not turn up for the game.^[94]
The Karbala–Al-Najaf match originally ended in a 2–1 win for Karbala but was changed to a 3–0 win for Al-Najaf due to Karbala fielding the ineligible player Ahmed Mohammed Hussein, who had been suspended for receiving three yellow cards in previous matches.^[95]^[96]^[97]
The Zakho–Naft Al-Basra match originally ended in a 2–2 draw but was changed to a 3–0 win for Zakho due to Naft Al-Basra fielding three ineligible players (Ahmed Zamel, Hussein Ammar and Haider Abdul-Rahim), who had all been suspended for receiving three yellow cards in previous matches.^[98]
