In the Saudi Professional League match between Al Nassr Riyadh and Al Raed that took place on March 7th, 2024, away team Al Raed emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline against the home side Al Nassr Riyadh. The match provided several interesting statistics that highlighted key factors influencing the match outcome.

Although Al Nassr Riyadh initiated the scoring within 24 minutes of the first half, Al Raed managed to level the score within 17 minutes, demonstrating their swift response capability. Furthermore, Al Raed cemented their lead by scoring twice in the second half. Al Raed's second goal came right at the beginning of the second half at the 45th minute and then solidified their lead with a third at the 86th minute. Both were clear indicators of Al Raed's clinical effectiveness in scoring opportunities.

Examining the disciplinary aspect, Al Raed was shown 6 yellow cards throughout the match, mainly in the second half, showing a high intensity and fiercely competitive approach. Despite their aggression causing fouls and stoppages in play, Al Raed managed to avoid pushing their discipline to the point of receiving any red cards. On the contrary, Al Nassr Riyadh had a cleaner game with no yellow cards, albeit with lessiser fouls, which could indicate a lack of aggression and intensity from the home side.

In terms of set pieces, Al Nassr Riyadh had 11 corner kicks compared to Al Raed's 4. However, Al Nassr failed to capitalize on these opportunities as they only scored once. This highlights a significant area of weakness for Al Nassr Riyadh in this game – their inability to convert set pieces into goals.

Surprisingly, despite having just one instance of offside against Al Nassr Riyadh, which showcases a well-organized forward line keeping in line with the opposition defence, they struggled in making it count on the scoreboard.

Dissecting these stats, a major factor affecting the match outcome was the clinical execution of goal scoring opportunities by Al Raed versus the failure of Al Nassr Riyadh to capitalize on their set piece opportunities. Additionally, Al Raed's aggressive, although at times risky, gameplay helped them maintain their lead. However, for future matches, Al Raed might need to focus on discipline to avoid being severely penalized or handicapped due to unnecessary yellow cards.
