Competition: Tournoi Maurice Revello

Home Team: Cote d'Ivoire (Youth)

Away Team: Saudi Arabia (Youth)

In a highly contested match at the Tournoi Maurice Revello, the Cote d'Ivoire (Youth) team didn't manage to capitalize on its opportunities when they faced off against the Saudi Arabia (Youth) team. The one and only goal of the match was scored by the Saudi Arabia side just fourteen minutes into the first half. That goal proved to be pivotal, as it put Saudi Arabia in command for the remainder of the game.

The inability of the Cote d'Ivoire team to score despite gaining more corner kicks, nine compared to Saudi Arabia's six, largely defined the course of the match. This statistic, combined with their five offsides compared to Saudi Arabia's zero, can be read as a demonstration of their failure to make the most of significant game moments. The higher corner kicks tally signified that the Cote d'Ivoire team had a more aggressive offense, attacking more frequently, but their imprecision in utilising these chances played a role in their defeat.

Moreover, the team's discipline seemed to be lacking as they accumulated five yellow cards, two in the first half and three in the second half. This high number of fouls infringed game flow and potentially symptomatic of their frustration which, in turn, could have affected their overall performance and capability to navigate the game. On contrast, the Saudi Arabia team demonstrated commendable discipline throughout the match with their record clean of any yellow or red cards.

In conclusion, Saudi Arabia (Youth) played a solid match with good strategy and discipline. The team took their chance early in the match and were able to maintain their composure without incurring any disciplinary issues, unlike their opponents. The decisive factor in this game was clearly the ability to capitalize on the opportunities that presented themselves, demonstrated by the Saudi Arabian team, while the young Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire's game was marred by offsides and disciplinary issues.
