In this rigorous match of the Saudi Professional League held on March 3rd, 2023, Al Ettifaq Dammam pulled off a second-half comeback against Al Raed, winning by 2-1.

Al Raed struck first, scoring 21 minutes into the first half. However, their lead was short-lived as Al Ettifaq Dammam equalized the game in the last minutes of the first half, ultimately turning the tables in the second half with a goal at the 92nd minute.

The statistical data from the match provides further insights into the key factors influencing the outcome. The attacking force of Al Ettifaq Dammam is one such factor, given they managed to breakthrough the defense of Al Raed twice, with the winning goal coming in the last minutes of the match.

Al Ettifaq Dammam also dominated the corner kicks count by a significant margin of 5 to 2. Corners are strategic opportunities in football for a team to score, and the higher number noticeably indicates a higher amount of pressure applied by Al Ettifaq Dammam on Al Raed’s defense.

That said, we cannot overlook the fact that Al Ettifaq Dammam may need to better manage their game discipline. They accumulated three yellow cards, all in the first half, showing a lack of discipline could’ve proven dangerous with an impending suspension risk. However, this seemingly reckless playstyle did not result in any red card during the match.

Al Raed, on the other hand, managed to discipline their players, resulting in only a single yellow card in the second half. Despite this discipline, they could not keep the advantage, struggling to resist Al Ettifaq Dammam's aggressive offensive pressure.

In conclusion, Al Ettifaq Dammam's aggressive, if risky, offensive approach proved rewarding in this duel, compensating for their discipline issues. At the same time, Al Raed's early lead couldn't be sustained, which might have been influenced by the lack of offensive opportunities, in part indicated by their lower number of corner kicks.
