In the riveting match between Al Ain Abu Dhabi and Al Nasr SC Dubai in the UAE League Cup played on 17th May 2023, Al Ain dominated most parts of the game and ultimately won the match with an impressive score of 4-1.

All five goals came in the second half, with Al Ain scoring the first three in a fairly quick succession at 58:47, 68:15 and 76:49, proving their offensive prowess and control of the game. The first goal by Al Ain, scored just before the hour mark, was the catalyst for the rest, not only solidifying their leading position but also adding pressure on Al Nasr, which struggled to come back.

Despite Al Nasr managing a goal at 91:21, it was not enough to turn the tide as Al Ain swiftly countered with a final goal at 94:10, reinforcing their lead firmly. Al Nasr's increasing desperation to level the game was perhaps reflected in their disciplinary issues - evident in the two yellow cards issued to them at 60:53 and 73:38. Al Ain, on the other hand, played a cleaner game without a single card issued.

Al Ain also surpassed Al Nasr in corner kicks by 8-5, indicating their greater aggression and better ability to capitalize on set-piece opportunities and use them to their advantage. Meanwhile, Al Nasr didn't make any chances through offsides, whereas Al Ain was caught offside twice in their aggressive push upfront. This may be an area Al Ain can tighten up in future games to prevent potential goal-scoring opportunities for their opponent.

The physicality of the game was higher on Al Nasr’s part as they committed eight fouls compared to Al Ain's four. This measure of aggression may have been an attempt by Al Nasr to regain some control over the game, but it evidently did not translate into goals.

In conclusion, Al Ain's scoring speed, strategic set-piece utilization, discipline, and cleaner game-play (evidenced in lesser fouls and offsides) were the key statistical factors that largely contributed to the 4-1 victory. Al Nasr’s attempt to dominate physically, reflected in fouls and yellow cards, did not help them make much headway, pointing to a need for better strategy and control on their part in future games.
