In a highly tactical Premier League game on 14th February 2024, Al Ahli Manama emerged as winners with a consolidated performance against East Riffa SCC. The match was characterised by dominant possession from Al Ahli Manama, which led to a 1-0 victory, with the only goal coming late in the first half.

Having taken 3 corner kicks compared to East Riffa's 4, Al Ahli Manama showed their efficiency in making their chances count. The crucial goal was artfully carved and dispatched in the 40th minute of the first half, helping Al Ahli Manama garner three critical points. Al Ahli Manama’s performance is commendable considering the difficulty of maintaining their lead through an entire half.

The Away team, East Riffa SCC, despite having more corner kicks, fell short in converting their opportunities into goals. Their inability to keep their composure and keep the offside flag down, with a total number of 5 incidents, significantly hampered their attacking stride.

Despite having a persistent defensive approach, both teams' discipline faltered, which resulted in a total of 3 yellow cards being shown. The home team held their own with a single yellow card, while East Riffa SCC saw two. The teams' discipline, however, should be praised as neither team received a red card throughout the duration of the match.

In terms of tactical fouls, the teams seemed quite evenly matched. Al Ahli Manama's critical strategic foul receiving a yellow card occurred well into the second half, possibly indicating a more disciplined and calculated approach.

In conclusion, Al Ahli Manama's superior efficiency in front of goal, paired with their strong defensive organisation and composure, was key to overcoming East Riffa SCC. The away team will need to work on their ability to convert set-pieces and maintain discipline in keeping the offside flag down in their future matches. However, it was clear that both teams battled it out on the field with skill and determination, making up for an exhilarating and balanced football match.
