The International Friendly on the 31st of December 2023 between Qatar and Cambodia ended in a comfortable victory for Qatar who managed to score three goals, while keeping a clean sheet.

The home side, Qatar, showed dominant performance throughout the match with their pervasiveness in attacking effectiveness is portrayed by the number of their attempts on goal - with around 13 shots, 7 of which were on target, highlighting an approximately 54% accuracy rate on goal attempts. This continual testing of the opposition defence finally yielded fruit, turning into three successful goals, all achieved in the second half.

Qatar's midfield also deserves recognition for their contribution to these goals, providing 2 assists. Their play execution was also noticeably good, as Qatar successfully deployed three substitutions without disrupting their game flow which led to their victory.

Defensively, Qatar applied a good degree of pressing, backed by the 12 fouls committed, allowing them only 2 shots on their goal throughout the entire match. The home team's goalkeeper further fortified their defence, saving both Cambodian attempts on goal.

Looking at Cambodia, their attacking efforts were relatively modest during the match, with a total of 6 shots, and only 2 being on target. The lack of scoring opportunities reflected the superiority of Qatar’s defensive strategies, proving insurmountable for the Cambodian attackers.

On the defensive front, Cambodia made a considerable number of 10 fouls, however, which were not enough to halt Qatar's offensive force. The away team goalkeeper made 4 saves, yet this number was not enough to prevent a loss.

Both sides showed discipline during the encounter as there were no cards issued on either side. While the offside trap seemed to work well for Qatar, forcing 1 offside, the Qatari team themselves fell offside three times.

Based on the match's statistics, it can be inferred that Qatar's major contributing factors to their win were their dominant and effective attacking performance, combined with a sturdy defensive effort. The Cambodian team made attempts to keep up the pressure and defending attempts, however, they failed to capitalize on their offensive plays, thus leading to their loss.
