In the UAE First Division match on 17th December 2023, Al Arabi Umm Al Quwain played host to Dibba Al Fujairah. The contest ended in a 1-1 draw, demonstrating that both teams were equally matched on that day.

In terms of goals, both teams found the back of the net once. Dibba Al Fujairah opened the scoring in the 28th minute, which resulted in the home team trailing. However, Al Arabi Umm Al Quwain showed great resilience and determination, managing to equalize the score in the 37th minute.

Observing the corner kicks, Dibba Al Fujairah had a slight upper hand with a total of 4 compared to Al Arabi's 3. Generally, more corner kicks can indicate better offensive pressure as it usually comes from having more shots either saved by the goalkeeper or deflected off an opponent. However, both teams' defense performed remarkably well and managed to handle the pressure applied by the opponent.

With regards to discipline, it was an equally heated match. Both teams received the same number of yellow cards (2 each). Dibba Al Fujairah was the first to get a yellow card in the 13th minute of the first half. Al Arabi followed the suit with a yellow card in 53rd minute of the second half. However, no one crossed the line to the point of receiving a red card, indicating decent game control by the officials, as well as player restraint on both sides.

An interesting statistic to examine is the offsides. Al Arabi Umm Al Quwain was caught offside on 3 separate occasions, indicative of the team's aggressive forward play. On the other hand, Dibba Al Fujairah managed to keep disciplinary lines during their build-ups and were not caught offside at any point in the game, showing a commendable structure and discipline in their forward play.

Although the goals and cards seem to be mutually exclusive events, goals can affect the flow and strategy of the matches, which can lead to bookings. Both teams seemed to have managed to maintain composure after equalizing in the first half and that could be seen in two similar statistics: cards and score line.

Overall, this was a well-balanced, yet highly-contested match, with both sides unable to outdo the other on the scoreline. They will undoubtedly use the statistics gained from this game to plan for future matchups meticulously.
