In a tightly contested match in the Tunisian Cup between AS Ain Jalloula and Sporting Ben Arous on the 25th of February 2024, Sporting Ben Arous managed a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

Both teams were closely matched regarding the Maneuvers, as evident from the number of fouls committed (15 each) indicating an intense contest in the midfield. AS Ain Jalloula had a slight edge with 5 shots on target compared to the winning team's 7. However, they were unable to capitalize on these opportunities, mainly due to a higher number of shots that went off target (7 compared to the opposition's 6), highlighting a lack of precision in finishing.

AS Ain Jalloula also managed more offsides (3 compared to Sporting Ben Arous's 2), revealing a more aggressive approach in their game strategy, which didn’t yield profits due to Sporting Ben Arous's compact defensive setup.

When we look at the goalkeepers, both sides showcased spectacular skills under the goal post. AS Ain Jalloula’s goalkeeper made an impressive 6 saves, while the Sporting Ben Arous's goaltender saved 5 attempts. The one shot that slipped by was probably the game defining moment for Sporting Ben Arous.

The possession statistics also paint a story. Despite having a slightly lower Ball control (46% to the opposition's 54%), AS Ain Jalloula had equal opportunities to score, considering the number of shots taken. This demonstrates that Sporting Ben Arous utilized their possession more clinically, converting one of their attempts into the sole winning goal of the match.

The result seemed to deeply influence the use of substitutions, with Sporting Ben Arous opting to use all 3 substitutions, likely to control the game flow and secure the precious lead. AS Ain Jalloula, meanwhile, only made two substitutions, perhaps a testament of the trust in the initial playing eleven, despite the goal deficit.

In summary, the defining factors in this match were the superior clinical finishing and strategic use of possession by Sporting Ben Arous, coupled with a tightly-knit defence that limited scoring opportunities for AS Ain Jalloula. Despite matching their opposition shot-for-shot, AS Ain Jalloula will need to address their finishing and use of possession to bounce back in future matches.
