In the disappointing clash at the Saudi Professional League on 16th February 2024, Damac FC were defeated by Al Shabab FC Riyadh 0-1. The closely fought match swayed in the favor of Al Shabab, mainly due to their superior offensive strength.

One of the standout elements was the shot consistency of Al Shabab FC Riyadh. Although both sides had similar shots off target, with Damac FC at 7 and Al Shabab FC Riyadh at 5, Al Shabab managed to make 5 shots on target, compared to Damac's 3. Consequently, the away team's ability to pressurize Damac FC's goalkeeper was more effective, noticeably contributing to the match's outcome. Damac FC' s goalkeeper had to make 4 saves, one more than their counterpart from Al Shabab who managed three saves.

In terms of tactical application, both teams resorted to substituting players, with Al Shabab making one more change than Damac FC, potentially giving them an edge with fresh legs and different tactical formations. The number of fouls gives Al Shabab a slight edge in terms of aggressive tactics, with 7 fouls committed against Damac's 5 foul count.

The singular deciding factor, however, was a successful conversion from one of the attempts by Al Shabab FC Riyadh making the only goal in the game. Despite Damac FC's effort in attacking the goal, as evidenced by their 3 corner kicks, they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities.

Furthermore, their lack of disciplinary issues, with zero yellow or red cards for both teams, showed a fairly held game. Lastly, the home team arguably missed a few opportunities with their lone offside call while the visiting team played a measured game with zero offsides.

In conclusion, Al Shabab FC Riyadh's superior accuracy in terms of shots on target, robust defensive capabilities, and smart tactical changes were key factors in securing their win against Damac FC. Though the match was tightly contested, the conversion of opportunities into goals ultimately decided the fixture.
