This tense match between Al Budaiya and Bouri Cultural SC in the Second Division, dated 15 February 2024, saw Al Budaiya clinch a narrow victory of 1-0. Al Budaiya’s single goal turned out to be decisive, despite Bouri Cultural SC having offensively outperformed their rivals on the day, with 4 shots on target to Al Budaiya’s 3.

However, Al Budaiya's goalkeeper proved instrumental in this victory, making 4 crucial saves and ensuring a clean sheet. It's worth comparing this to Bouri Cultural SC's goalkeeper who made only 2 saves.

The defensive solidarity of Al Budaiya can also be seen in the number of fouls committed – 11 in total compared to the 7 from Bouri Cultural SC. This heightened defensive pressure went a long way in keeping Bouri Cultural SC at bay.

While both teams opted for a different approach in terms of substitutes—Al Budaiya made 3 substitutions, while Bouri Cultural SC only made 2— the impact of fresh legs doesn’t seem to have had a significant bearing on the final score.

With regard to set-piece opportunities, Al Budaiya managed to secure 4 corner kicks against Bouri Cultural SC’s 2, however, it's not clear from the data provided if these created any significant chances.

In terms of discipline, the match was overall fair without a single yellow or red card shown. This indicates a fairly clean game from both parties. However, Al Budaiya did commit 2 offsides to Bouri Cultural SC's 3, suggesting a higher risk-taking approach from both sides in this closely contested fixture.

In conclusion, while Bouri Cultural SC managed to create more direct goal-scoring opportunities, it was Al Budaiya's disciplined defensive performance and the critical role played by their goalkeeper that ultimately determined the outcome of the match.
