Although, both teams had opportunities at the opponent’s goal, as proven by the equal number of corner kicks, 5 for each team, Al Baten could not convert them into goals. Their lack of scoring might also be credited to their higher offsides rate. Al Baten committed three offsides compared to Al Raed which had no offside, indicating their timing and coordination might have been off, resulting in missed scoring opportunities.

Across the match Al Raed committed 20 fouls, significantly higher than Al Baten’s 12. Despite its undisciplined approach, Al Raed was fortunate to avoid any red cards which otherwise could have tilted the game.

Al Raed’s success was primarily due to their goal-scoring efficiency within the first half, while maintaining a solid defensive line. Al Baten’s offensive shortcomings, demonstrated by their multiple offsides and inability to convert corner opportunities, played a significant role in their loss.

In conclusion, the game was characterized by Al Raed’s offensive charges and technical proficiency, albeit at a significant cost to discipline, and Al Baten’s lacking ability to efficiently execute attacks and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
