In a tightly contested Professional League encounter between Dhofar SCSC and Ibri Club on 10 October 2023, it was the away side that emerged victorious in a 2-0 win. Ibri Club proved the ultimate effectiveness in putting the game away in the first half with two crucial and exceptionally timed goals.

From a statistical standpoint, the first-half goals at the 5th and 49th minute were particularly significant. The first one came from a rapid early attack, which put immense pressure on Dhofar SCSC right from the start. In comparison, the second goal was well-played, coming close to the half-time whistle, seemingly shattering the home team's morale.

The home side's struggles aren't only reflected by the lack of goals. Statistically, Dhofar SCSC had an advantage in corner kicks, 6-0 - which arguably implies dominance in territorial play or even perhaps desperation to level the match. However, it's evident this dominance yielded no tangible results which would suggest Ibri Club's solid defending on set pieces.

The teams were evenly matched in terms of offside infringements, both with a count of 2. This indicates an equally aggressive approach to attack, or possibly a similar pattern in the use of a high defensive line strategy - a true testament to the match's competitive nature.

Addressing disciplinary issues, Ibri Club received a yellow card in the 55th minute of the second half, while Dhofar SCSC maintained a clean slate. This incident had negligible impact on the game's final result but does underline the increasing tension in Ibri Club's gameplay post the break.

In terms of substitutions, foul play, shots on target, shots off target and keeper saves, this data wasn't available. It's, therefore, difficult to compare further aspects of the teams' performances.

To summarise, Ibri Club's efficiency in front of goal, combined with a robust defensive performance, especially regarding set pieces, were the key elements in deciding the outcome of this match. The lesson for Dhofar SCSC might be, no matter how many corners or territorial advantages, converting opportunities into goals and defending them is paramount to seize the victory.
