In this electrifying match between Al Ittihad Jeddah and Al Ahli Jeddah, part of the Saudi Professional League, the teams showcased a thrilling display of skill, strategy, and resilience. Based on the statistical data available, it became evident that various crucial factors impacted the outcome of this match.

Although neither team was able to dominate offensively, the away team, Al Ahli Jeddah, took the crucial opportunity within the opening half-hour. The only goal of the game was scored at exactly 30 minutes and 32 seconds into the first half. This ended up being the decisive moment, granting Al Ahli the victory in a tightly contested match.

Both teams played a physical game, committing a nearly equal number of fouls (9 for Al Ittihad, 8 for Al Ahli) which seems to have disrupted the normal flow of the game and affected the home team's ability to equalize. Al Ahli received four yellow cards, reflecting their aggressive-defensive tactics after securing an early lead.

The corner kick numbers tell an interesting tale. Al Ittihad had a slight edge with 4 corner kicks to Al Ahli's 3, a metric that would typically indicate offensive supremacy. However, in this case, Al Ittihad was unable to capitalize on it to score.

Offside numbers could be another facet of Al Ittihad's inability to score. Their 3 offsides may suggest that their timing and coordination in penetrating the defense were not up to the mark, which could have resulted from the pressure to match Al Ahli's early goal or their strong defensive setup. On the other side, Al Ahli's 2 offsides could be viewed as an attempt to ramp up their counter-attacks and further secure the lead.

In terms of discipline, both teams had their fair share of yellow cards, with Al Ittihad accumulating 2 yellows and Al Ahli accumulating 4. Given these cautions came in the second half, and primarily for the away team, it is safe to say the match's intensity amped up significantly in the latter half of the game.

In conclusion, even though both teams had similar statistical metrics for this game, Al Ahli Jeddah's early goal coupled with their aggressive defense and use of strategic fouls emerged as the winning strategy. Al Ittihad Jeddah tried to impose on the game, but the inability to capitalize on their offensive opportunities cost them the match. The match was a tactical triumph for Al Ahli, but both teams need to work on discipline highlighted by the number of yellow cards shown.
