In the second division clash on February 22nd, Etehad Al Reef secured a solid 2-0 victory over Um Alhassam, an encounter characterized by a dominant away team efficiency in goal conversion, while the home team struggled to capitalize on their chances.

While Um Alhassam didn't record any goals in this match, it wasn't for lack of opportunities. Indicated by the ten corner kicks they registered compared to Etehad Al Reef's three, suggesting an aggressive attacking approach but they failed in converting their attacks into tangible results. A significant factor in Um Alhassam's lack of goals was their inability to convert their corner kicks into direct scoring opportunities.

Etehad Al Reef, on the other hand, demonstrated a commendable level of efficiency in making their attempts count. Despite only having three corner kicks throughout the game, they managed to net two goals in the second half. The first at the 53rd minute and the second almost ten minutes later, which reflects their well-coordinated attack and finishing precision.

The discipline was notably contrasting between the two sides as Etehad Al Reef racked up six yellow cards compared to Um Alhassam's three. This high number did not translate into dismissals for Etehad Al Reef, but it does indicate a more aggressive, risk-taking defensive approach that, despite aiding in their win, is a cautionary factor going forward into future matches.

Both teams had an equal share of offside offenses with three each, indicative of closely matched positional warfare at the lines and eagerness to breach the defensive lines. However, Etehad Al Reef appear to have leveraged these situations more effectively.

In conclusion, Etehad Al Reef showed more effectiveness in their game strategy, with their clinical conversion rate playing a crucial role in their victory, combined with a daring, if excessive, defensive assertion. Um Alhassam, despite commanding in corners and having fewer disciplinary issues, lacked the final precision to turn their match dominance into scores. A learning point for the team would be the increase their effort in converting their buildup play into goals.
