In a thrilling encounter between two evenly matched teams, Al Bataeh and Khor Fakkan FC ended in a hard-fought 2-2 draw in the UAE Pro League match on 2nd March 2023.

Although the scored goals being tied at 2 each, there's more to the story than just the shared points. Let's delve deeper into the data to gain an understanding of the match.

Al Bataeh opened the scoring early, in the first half at 40 mins 25 secs. However, the lead was short-lived as Khor Fakkan FC rallied to equalize shortly after the beginning of the second half at 57 mins 30 secs. Al Bataeh took the lead again in the 74th minute but had to succumb to pressure from Khor Fakkan who brought the score level back to 2-2, with the fourth goal of the match coming quite late in the game at 86th minute.

What's particularly intriguing is the aggressive game of the away side, Khor Fakkan FC, who have doubled the corner kicks taken by their opponents, with an impressive count of 8 compared to Al Bataeh's 4. However, both teams were caught in the offside trap only once, indicating a structured and disciplined defensive organization from both sides.

When we take a look at fouls, there isn't a significant disparity here either. Both teams adopted a physically assertive approach. A total of 11 fouls were committed during the game, but surprisingly resulted in just a single yellow card which was shown to a player from the home side, Al Bataeh, during the second half.

Overall, it was a closely contested match with many dramatic moments and ebbs and flow. While Al Bataeh were slightly more efficient taking advantage of fewer corner kicks, Khor Fakkan FC shined in resilience, twice recovering from a goal down to snatch a point from their rivals. Although fouls were closely matched, caution should be raised on Al Bataeh's disciplinary measures having been the only side penalized by a yellow card. While there isn't a clear winner from a team performance perspective, the viewers were the true winners witnessing such a competitive game of football.
