In the second stage, Al-Talaba lost their first match against Al-Shorta and before clinching a win against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. After drawing with the league leaders, Al-Zawra'a and the defending champions, Naft Al-Wasat, they won against Al-Mina'a which could have led them from 3rd to 2nd before drawing the next match with Al-Naft. They won their last match against Baghdad to remain in their position of 3rd in the league after three wins, three draws, a loss, at 12 points.
