In this riveting Professional League match held on 10 March 2023, Al Ittihad Salalah emerged victoriously, defeating their counterparts Al Nasr SCSC Salalah with a score of 2-1. However, the results do not fully represent some significant stats defining the contours of this fierce contest.

Al Nasr's single goal came in the second half, at 00:56:27, while Al Ittihad managed to secure one goal in each half. This consistent goal scoring from Al Ittihad could be one key factor that led to their victory. Their first goal was scored at 00:32:13 in the first half, which must have helped them in setting a positive momentum for the game ahead. Their decisive goal came moments after Al Nasr's singular goal leading to a close, heart-racing climax going 1-2 at 00:59:21 in the second half.

Discipline was certainly not the highest priority in the match for both teams as is evident from the number of yellow cards issued. Al Ittihad earned a total of 4 yellow cards, with two issued in each half. Al Nasr fared slightly better, with two yellow cards – one in each half. This may suggest a more aggressive play style from Al Ittihad, which might have contributed to their advantage of more goals scored.

In the face of Al Nasr's 8 corner kicks, Al Ittihad only had 3, proving that Al Nasr was pressing onto Al Ittihad's defense. However, what Al Nasr’s offensive strategy failed to achieve boils down to converting those goal-scoring opportunities into successful goals. Al Ittihad, in contrast, managed to make the most out of their chances, reflecting their efficient play. This efficiency also reflected as Al Ittihad committed fewer fouls with just 2 compared to Al Nasr’s 4.

In terms of offsides, Al Nasr had only 1 compared to zero from Al Ittihad, suggesting that Al Ittihad maintained a more calculated and disciplined approach in their attacking plays.

In conclusion, while Al Nasr SCSC Salalah showed dominance in corner kicks and maintained a cleaner sheet in terms of yellow cards, it was Al Ittihad Salalah that was successful in converting their opportunities into goals, which ultimately secured them the victory. This result points yet again to the old wisdom of football: efficiency in front of the goal outweighs sheer dominance and an aggressive play style.
