In the stalemate between CR Belouizdad and Al Ahli Cairo in the last CAF Champions League match, it was a defensive masterclass showcasing both team's resilience at the back, with neither letting their guard down to concede a goal.

Despite the intense attacking efforts put forward by both teams, the match ended in a 0-0 draw. This competition revealed plenty about the teams' offensive efforts and the impermeable nature of their defenses as there were nine shots on target in total (four by CR Belouizdad and five by Al Ahli Cairo), but none successful.

CR Belouizdad had six off-target attempts while Al Ahli Cairo produced eight. Although Al Ahli Cairo showed a slightly higher offensive initiative, their accuracy left room for improvement, missing more shots off target. On the other hand, CR Belouizdad showed a need for increased assertiveness in their attacking third, with fewer on and off target shots in total.

Comparatively, Al Ahli Cairo managed more corner kicks, 3 versus CR Belouizdad's singular attempt, indicating that they imposed themselves more in the attacking half and had slightly better field position.

In terms of discipline, CR Belouizdad committed significantly more fouls with a total of 16 compared to Al Ahli Cairo's 10. This can be a reflection of Belouizdad's more aggressive and possible desperate play style given the circumstances. Despite the higher number of fouls, both teams' discipline, in terms of cautionary cards, can be considered exemplary as no yellow or red cards were presented.

Both sides had a chance to swing the match in their favor by making strategic substitutions – with CR Belouizdad making three changes while Al Ahli Cairo made two, but none of these tactical changes influenced the scoreboard.

In conclusion, while Al Ahli Cairo showed higher attacking intent and CR Belouizdad displayed a grittier defensive approach, their strong defensive displays and lack of end product in front of goal were the most impactful factors on the scoreline.
