This match was a riveting Saudi Professional League encounter between Al Raed and Al Fateh SC that ended in a 2-1 win for the visitors, Al Fateh SC.

In the first half, Al Fateh SC seized the lead early on with the first goal coming in just under the 29-minute mark. This was quickly followed by yet another goal at just before half-time giving them a strong 2-0 foothold against the home team.

Al Raed, while understandably expending energy to forge a comeback in the second half, managed to score only one goal at the 70th minute, leaving the score at 2-1 favoring the away team at the final whistle.

The dynamics of the game certainly came under influence by a flurry of Yellow cards, issued quite evenly throughout the match. Al Raed received an accumulated sum of four Yellow cards, illustrating their increased aggression in both halves to fight back from the deficit, whereas Al Fateh SC proceeded with slightly more caution and collected three Yellow cards.

Similarly, both sides had an equal amount of corner kicks at four each revealing that the match had moments of evenly matched offensive play as both sides tried to utilize these set pieces to their advantage. Meanwhile, the negligible number of offsides for both parties – at just one apiece – shows that both the teams adhered to a compact defensive strategy, keeping the lines sharp whilst avoiding any slack that might allow the strikers to slip through.

The stats do lead us to the tipping points in the game where both teams held the reins and where Al Fateh SC took a decisive advantage. Firstly, the away team’s primary thrust, resulting in two quick goals before the break solidified their attacking prowess. Secondly, Al Raed’s rampant aggression, while successful in attaining a single goal, might have left them in vulnerable positions, allowing Al Fateh SC to control the game and hold on to their initial lead.

In conclusion, the match was highly measurable – with the qualitative edge being skewed towards Al Fateh SC, who had a solid first half and maintained their lead efficiently, despite Al Raed's unyielding attempts at a comeback. It was evident that the early goals and disciplined play by Al Fateh SC were key to securing the three points from this encounter.
