Najma Manama returned to winning ways with a solid 2-0 home victory over Sitra in the Bahrain Premier League on February 14, 2026. This match result provided a much-needed boost for Najma after a patchy run of form. The home side took control early, scoring their first goal from a well-rehearsed free-kick routine in the 25th minute. They doubled their advantage just after the hour mark, capitalizing on a defensive error from Sitra to slot home from close range. Sitra enjoyed spells of possession but lacked a cutting edge in the final third, with their best effort being a long-range strike that sailed over the bar. The key to Najma's success was their defensive solidity, as they comfortably dealt with everything Sitra threw at them to secure a clean sheet. The three points had a positive impact on Najma's league table position, moving them into the safety of mid-table, while Sitra remained in a congested battle to avoid the drop zone. The Najma manager highlighted his team's improved focus and execution, and the Sitra coach acknowledged his side's need to be more clinical.
