The Supercopa clash between Real Madrid and Valencia on the 11th of January at King Fahd International Stadium saw the home team, Real Madrid, emerge victorious with a 5-4 scoreline, an impressive match by any standards.

With 5 goals, Real Madrid showed their offensive prowess. Karim Benzema's decisive strike in the first half set the tempo for the match. But the team also showcased its clinical finishing ability, converting a penalty, indicating a calm composure under pressure.

Valencia, on the other hand, also showcased their attacking potential by managing four goals, one of which came from Samuel Lino's sublime finish in the second half, facilitated by Antonio Latorre Grueso.

While Valencia managed to get more balls across the line, the team had fewer shots on target compared to Real Madrid (6 to 3), which reveals the efficiency of the home team’s strikers. Real Madrid, with 6 shots on target out of 16 attempts, showcased their high-quality striking capability.

In terms of defending, Real Madrid committed 20 fouls compared to Valencia’s 23, demonstrating a slightly more disciplined approach. However, both teams must improve their overall discipline, as evidenced by the total of 6 yellow cards - two for Real Madrid and four for Valencia.

Valencia's four yellow cards, incurred mostly during the first half, indicated a more aggressive approach, which might have cost them in terms of discipline and defensive formation. The three offsides registered by both Real Madrid and Valencia reflect a closely contested game, where both teams were eager to penetrate the opponents' defence.

Despite the high numbers of fouls and offsides, neither team had a player sent off, which credits their ability to manage discipline levels when down to the wire.

Real Madrid dominated the field in terms of corner kicks, executing 8 compared to Valencia’s 6, reflecting their command over the ball and overall game control. This control manifested itself in the ultimate decider of the game: goals scored.

In conclusion, while Valencia fought valiantly, it was Real Madrid's clinical finishing, aggressive game control, and a slightly better disciplined approach that gave them an edge in this closely contested Supercopa face-off.
