Facing off in the Saudi Professional League, Al Akhdoud Club played host to Al Hazm on November 11, 2023, coming away with a hard-earned 2-1 victory. Let's break down the match and its statistical contributions.

Al Akhdoud Club capitalized on their opportunities early and then were able to hold onto the lead through the second half. Their first goal recorded at the 20:24-minute mark of the first half offered them an early initiative. Despite playing at home, they were more conservative in their efforts towards the goal, which is evident from the fact that they had a lower total of corner kicks (3) compared to Al Hazm who had 5. This suggests a bit of containment strategy from Al Akhdoud Club’s end, focusing more on capitalizing on the quality of chances than the quantity.

Al Akhdoud Club remained disciplined with their offsides, with none coming from their side throughout the match. This played a vital role in the match as it allowed for a free-flowing game and reduced the interruptions in possession for Al Akhdoud Club, enabling them to control the tempo of the game.

Fouls were relatively evenly distributed between both teams, with Al Akhdoud Club committing one additional foul than Al Hazm (6 vs 5). Both teams were neck-to-neck in their aggressive approach, receiving three yellow cards each. Notably, a turn point could have been the red card faced by Al Akhdoud Club in the second half, potentially leaving them in a more vulnerable defensive position, but they managed to maintain their lead.

Al Hazm came back with a goal in the second half, potentially due to the man advantage created by the red card shown to Al Akhdoud Club. However, they then struggled to make their numerical superiority count on the scoreboard. Although Al Hazm managed to get more corner kicks (5) and even caught Al Akhdoud offside once, they couldn’t fully utilize these chances to their advantage.

Finally, Al Akhdoud's ability to strike early and their disciplined offside play arguably made a significant impact on maintaining their early lead. Although facing a player deficit due to the red card, their defense was strong enough to limit Al Hazm to just one goal, securing a hard-earned victory for Al Akhdoud Club. From this game, bettors should note Al Akhdoud Club’s defensive prowess and ability to successfully maintain a lead, despite being a man down, a testament to their resilience and stoic defensive discipline.
