The U23 WAFF Championship match between Lebanon U23 and UAE U23 concluded with a decisive 3-0 victory in favor of the UAE. A critical factor contributing to the UAE's dominance was their ability to capitalize on early opportunities, as evidenced by their first goal just over five minutes into the match. Earning an early lead allowed them to dictate the pace and pressure Lebanon throughout the game. In contrast, Lebanon struggled with goal-conversion, despite earning more corner kicks (7) which indicates some level of attacking pressure.

Defensively, UAE U23 maintained solid positioning and disruptiveness, as reflected by their four yellow cards by the 71st minute, which showcased their aggressive approach. Their willingness to engage physically without conceding any red cards demonstrated disciplined aggression. Meanwhile, Lebanon U23's overall discipline was slightly better, with only two yellow cards throughout the match. However, their inability to convert set-pieces into scoring opportunities and lack of offside calls implies lackluster offensive pressure against the UAE's robust defense.

Substitutions and strategic adjustments also played a significant role. UAE's effective management saw them maintain control and extend their lead in the second half, scoring two more goals, at the 57th and 92nd minutes, respectively. This indicates superior coaching strategies and adaptability over Lebanon, who failed to impact the game significantly despite their offensive maneuvers. As a result, UAE’s tactical discipline and clinical finishing overshadowed Lebanon’s attempts, highlighting the significance of early game momentum and strategic defensive play in influencing the match outcome.
