In the recent thrilling football match in the Qatar Stars League between Al Markhiya SC and Al Sailiya, Al Sailiya managed to overcome a early deficit to end victorious, with a score of 3-1. This win for Al Sailiya stemmed largely from a systematic play and effective utilization of set pieces, which was evident in their higher number of corner kicks.

Al Markhiya SC had a commendable start, scoring at the early minute of 7:39 into the first half. Yet, their lead was short-lived with Al Sailiya equalizing the score at the dying minutes of the first half at minute 45:13. This was followed by two more goals from Al Sailiya in the second half at minutes 76:12 and 90:24 marking their dominance in the game, defiantly turning the tide in their favor.

However, the home team, Al Markhiya SC, was unable to capitalize on their early lead. Their performance displayed a weakness in their defense leading to them conceding three goals. Their discipline on the field was another key concern as they received 3 yellow cards in the game, a stark contrast to Al Sailiya who didn't receive any. This not only affected their gameplay but also showed a lack of composure that could have played a part in their loss.

In terms of offensive strategy, Al Sailiya topped with 7 corner kicks compared to just one from Al Markhiya SC. This shows that Al Sailiya had a more aggressive offensive approach, keeping the pressure on their opposition, ultimately leading to greater opportunities for scoring. Both teams were caught offside only once, indicating good positional discipline in attack.

The fouls were pretty evenly distributed with Al Markhiya SC committing 9 fouls and Al Sailiya 7, indicating a clean yet competitive match.

In conclusion, Al Sailiya’s ability to mount pressure on the opposition, control the ball's possession, and capitalize on set pieces, coupled with Al Markhiya SC’s lapses in defense and discipline, were the decisive factors in this match. Al Sailiya's methodical play and utilization of opportunities resulted in a well-deserved 3-1 victory.
