In a fiercely contested match in the Saudi Professional League, Al Ittihad Jeddah emerged as the winners against Al Nassr Riyadh with a narrow margin of 1-0. The game was clearly a tightly contested affair, with a low-scoring outcome, but the statistics show a strategic and disciplined performance from Al Ittihad Jeddah that contributed to their victory.

Starting with the goals, the decisive solitary goal of the match was scored during the second half by Al Ittihad Jeddah at 01:19:49. The timing speaks of a persistent and relentless attack that finally found its mark after what must have been a heroic defensive stand by Al Nassr Riyadh.

When we consider the total fouls committed, Al Ittihad Jeddah appears to have played a more aggressive game compared to Al Nassr Riyadh, with 14 fouls against 10. This strategy possibly disrupted the rhythm of Al Nassr, stifling their progress in key areas of the pitch.

With only one yellow card apiece, both teams maintained disciplined conduct throughout the game. The card timing also provides insight into the game's flow. Al Ittihad Jeddah received their yellow card earlier in the second half at 01:07:31, indicating a possible response to pressure from Al Nassr’s attacks. Al Nassr Riyadh's yellow card came in later at 01:23:24, possibly due to frustration setting in or as a result of trying to win the ball to create a scoring opportunity.

Interestingly, Al Nassr Riyadh had more corner kicks (6) compared to Al Ittihad Jeddah (4), which usually indicates a higher number of attacking opportunities. However, Al Nassr Riyadh failed to capitalize on these chances, possibly due to an efficient defensive strategy deployed by Al Ittihad.

When it comes to offside, Al Ittihad Jeddah showed better precision in their attacking strategy with zero offsides compared to Al Nassr Riyadh’s single offside. This statistic hints at an impeccable timing and coordination between the attacking players of Al Ittihad Jeddah, who managed to steer clear of the offside trap set by the opponents.
