In a closely contested match on 28th September 2023 in the Qatar Stars League, Al Duhail SC narrowly overcame Al Markhiya SC, by securing a 2-1 win away from home.

Al Duhail SC set the tone for the game by scoring a goal within the first quarter of an hour (00:15:22). However, Al Markhiya SC showed resilience by equalizing nine minutes later (00:24:16). Al Duhail SC then quickly regained their lead just before the halftime whistle (00:48:21), demonstrating their superior efficiency up front.

An intriguing facet of the match was the almost equal amount of fouls committed by both sides (10 each), highlighting the highly competitive and physical nature of the game. However, the intensity of the encounter is better illustrated by the number of yellow cards issued, with Al Markhiya SC receiving three as compared to Al Duhail SC's two. This not only indicates Al Markhiya SC's higher level of indiscipline but could potentially imply a slightly more defensive mindset, leading to more fouls and penalties.

As further evidence of Al Duhail SC's dominance, they managed double the corner kicks (8 vs 4), showing more aggressive attacking play and presence within Al Markhiya SC's defensive third. The superior offensive quality of Al Duhail SC is highlighted further by the fact that Al Markhiya SC was caught offside once during the match, suggesting they struggled to penetrate Al Duhail SC's defence successfully, whereas Al Duhail SC were never offside.

Despite the close match score, the statistics suggest that Al Duhail SC played the more efficient, aggressive, and disciplined game. Their ability to control and dominate the match with more attacking opportunities while being more disciplined in defence was likely instrumental in their victory.
