In the highly competitive football match held on 15th February 2024 in the Saudi Professional League, Al Khaleej Saihat hosted Al Ettifaq Dammam, ending in what could be seen as a disappointment for the home team as they were defeated 2-0 by the visitors.

From a statistics standpoint, the victory wasn’t handed over but rather earned, although the teams displayed an even level of aggression and control over the ball. Both teams had equal shots on target (4 each), demonstrating fairly comparable offensive endeavors. However, Al Ettifaq Dammam proved to be more accurate and efficient with their attempts, as they converted half of their shots on target to actual goals.

The home team, Al Khaleej Saihat, despite having a higher number of corner kicks (3 compared to Al Ettifaq’s 1), could not convert them into a substantial advantage. This lack of conversion is indicative of Al Khaleej Saihat's struggles in efficient set-piece execution.

On the defensive side, Al Khaleej Saihat’s goalkeeper made a total of 4 saves, compared to Al Ettifaq Dammam’s goalkeeper who made only one. This indicates a bulk of defensive pressure was placed upon the home team, whose backline and goalie came under attack more often.

In terms of discipline, the match report shows a ‘clean’ game, with no yellow or red cards issued to either side. However, the away team did register 2 offsides, suggesting a high press strategy that may have contributed to their goal tally.

In conclusion, despite both teams showing equivalent aggression and control over the ball, Al Ettifaq Dammam was able to make the most of their scoring opportunities and defensive strategies - an essential factor in their 2-0 victory. Al Khaleej Saihat, despite advantageous statistics in corner kicks and saves, was unable to convert these into goal opportunities. The crucial disparity in this match was ultimately the efficiency in chances created, and Al Ettifaq Dammam capitalized on it.
