MATCH DAY BREAKDOWN

On May 31, 2023, Al Ettifaq Dammam paid a visit to Al Adalh Club in the Saudi Professional League, concluding in a 2-0 victory in favor of Al Ettifaq. The outcome may not necessarily reflect the way the match unfolded, as there are many statistical nuances to be explored during the game.

Al Adalh Club were disciplined and controlled in the first half, but their one yellow card just 18 minutes into the match might have led to an early disruption in the balance of their game plan. The second half was rather unfortunate for Al Adalh Club too as they were hit with another yellow card just five minutes before the second goal by Al Ettifaq, hinting perhaps at a loss of composure leading to an increase in fouls.

In terms of offensive play, Al Adalh Club produced a high number of corner kicks with a total of 12, demonstrating they were keen on pushing forward, and often. These set pieces are an important offensive asset, but Al Adalh Club failed to capitalize on them which may have been a deciding factor in their inability to score. Al Ettifaq, on the other hand, were considerably less offensively aggressive, resulting in only 7 corner kicks.

However, Al Ettifaq’s scoreline reveals that they maximized their goal-scoring opportunities. Both goals came in the second half of the match, at 88 minutes and 99 minutes respectively, showing their persistence to sustain the pressure and finally break the deadlock.

Al Adalh Club’s two yellow cards may have disrupted their momentum and potentially added to Al Ettifaq's advantage in the later stages of the game. Moreover, despite having fewer corner kicks, Al Ettifaq seemed to be more efficient with the opportunities available to them, which may indicate a higher level of offensive organization and execution.

In conclusion, while Al Adalh Club seemed to have dominated offensively in terms of corner kicks, their failure to convert those into goals along with the disruption caused by their own yellow cards led to their downfall. Al Ettifaq Dammam, on the other hand, demonstrated effective striking skills by utilizing fewer opportunities to score, and capitalized on the opposition's loss of composure, resulting ultimately in their victory.
