The Syria Cup match of 20 February 2024 between Al Jaish SC Damascus and Tishreen SC was a fiercely contested face-off that ended in a stalemate of 1-1. The match featured a balanced game in terms of goals (1-1), providing some interesting insights for keen football observers and bettors.

In the first half, both Al Jaish SC Damascus and Tishreen SC played a cautious game, as evidenced by the absence of goals. The first half was not without its moments, however. Both teams received one yellow card each within mere six minutes, showing intensity and fierce competition. Tishreen SC earned their yellow card at 35:52, and Al Jaish was cautioned soon after at 41:24.

The first breakthrough came for Tishreen SC early into the second half, at 01:01:25, gaining the upper hand. Al Jaish, however, retaliated later into the half with a goal at 01:33:23. The goal timings suggest that the latter stages of the game had more offensive activity as teams sought to break the deadlock.

Unsurprisingly, with the increase in offensive activity, yellow cards also spiked – a phenomenon not uncommon in games with high stakes. Al Jaish, in particular, racked up a total of three yellow cards in the game with a second one at 01:10:11, and a third at the critical juncture, just four minutes after scoring their goal at 01:33:27. Interestingly, Tishreen SC also received their second yellow card at the same minute (01:10:03) as Al Jaish's second one. But overall, they managed to maintain more game discipline with only two yellow cards in the match.

In terms of the set pieces, Al Jaish led with five corner kicks against Tishreen’s three, suggesting that they applied more attacking pressure in the game. However, they lacked the finish to convert these opportunities into decisive moments.

In conclusion, the match was high in intensity and closely contested. Both teams showed resilience and determination, and this was mirrored in the final score of 1-1. Al Jaish seemed to take a slightly more offensive approach, as suggested by the number of corner kicks, but struggled with discipline, as evidenced by the number of yellow cards. On the other hand, Tishreen was effective in scoring early in the second half, maintained better discipline but failed to keep the lead.

In terms of critical factors that impacted the match outcome, it would be fair to say that Al Jaish's lack of discipline (the high number of yellow cards) might have hindered their capacity to produce a more aggressive play later into the game. On the other hand, Tishreen failed to capitalize on the early goal in the second half, which could've given them the win. The tight match draw was a testament to the evenly matched capabilities of both teams.
