A fierce encounter was witnessed on September 29, 2023, as Al Shamal SC took on Umm Salal SC in the Qatar Stars League. The match took an astonishing turn with Umm Salal SC outclassing Al Shamal SC by 3 goals to 1. This was largely owing to superior coordination and aggressive gameplay demonstrated by the away team.

Umm Salal SC maintained a conspicuous dominance throughout the match, first marking their presence in the 26th minute of the first half, to lead the match 1-0. Al Shamal SC managed to equalize just moments before halftime. After the game resumed, Umm Salal SC showed an excellent form, scoring at the 52nd and 92nd minute, respectively. The crucial timing of these strikes suggest that Umm Salal was resilient in creating scoring opportunities and converting them at critical stages of the game.

Looking at the disciplinary strategies of the teams, Al Shamal SC was caught in the grip of yellow cards with significant instances recorded in the second half at 46th, 51st, 80th, and 91st minute. These infractions could have been instrumental in the loss as they not only disrupted their game flow but also handed the initiative back to Umm Salal SC.

Taking Set-pieces as a decisive parameter in this tight contest, Umm Salal SC yet again exhibited an upper hand over Al Shamal SC. Umm Salal managed to pull off 8 corner kicks against Al Shamal's 6, thereby maximizing their chances at the goal. Similarly, Umm Salal SC proved more disciplined in terms of their gameplay by committing only 8 fouls as compared to Al Shamal's 14.

A notable aspect was the success in exploiting the offside trap. While Al Shamal fell for the offside trap only once, Umm Salal succumbing twice shows a minor strategic failure on their part.

All in all, the match was a blend of high-class offensive prowess displayed by the Umm Salal SC juxtaposed against Al Shamal SC's defensive inaccuracies and lack of discipline. The discernible difference in the number of goal-scoring opportunities, the timing of goals, and the number of fouls committed by both teams were the major deciding factors.
