The match on December 15th, 2023 between Al Budaiya and Um Alhassam was a closely contested event. The final score saw Al Budaiya taking home the victory with a 2-1 win, the decisive goal being scored in the first half.

The early opening goal by Al Budaiya came two minutes into the first half, catching Um Alhassam off guard. However, the away team displayed their tactical discipline, scoring the equaliser just ten minutes later. Crucially, Al Budaiya regained the lead at the 20th minute with what turned out to be the deciding goal for the match.

Let's now look at the major factors that influenced the outcome of the match. From a disciplinary point of view, both teams pushed the boundaries. Al Budaiya racked up a considerable total of six yellow cards and no red cards. Their opponents, Um Alhassam, compiled four yellow cards and saw one of their players sent off with a red card. Evidently, the away team played one man down for a significant part of the game, which could have impacted their ability to develop consistent and impactful attacks on goal.

Both teams had an equal number of corner kicks (six each), usually a telling factor of aggressive forward play, but it is clear from the scoreline that Al Budaiya was more clinical with their chances.

Al Budaiya's defensive line held strong, registering two offsides against the away team while the latter couldn't manage to push Al Budaiya's attacking line into an offside position even once. This indicates that Al Budaiya's backline held a solid line, curbing Um Alhassam's attacking threats while their own forwards managed to stay disciplined with their forward runs.

In completion, Al Budaiya's win seems to be more of an efficiency over the Um Alhassam defence rather than a matter of absolute dominion. Notwithstanding, the burden of playing with one less player due to a red card might have also doused Um Alhassam's momentum.
