However, upon resumption, the away team once again posed a stern challenge, landing the first goal of the second half at 50:37 and gaining an advantageous 2-1 lead.

Notably, the home team also kept their discipline intact, suffering no offsides while Saudi Arabia (Youth) made one. This careful attention to maintaining a clean game undoubtedly created more opportunities for the home team to focus on their attacking plays.

The Saudi team’s performance was significantly hampered by the accumulation of 4 yellow cards. This led to a defensive imbalance, granting additional spaces for the Mexican team to exploit. The bookings, especially those in the second half at 53:47 and 102:02, disrupted their rhythm and introduced unneeded tension for the players. The critical timing of these fouls contributed to the swing of the match momentum in favor of the Mexican team, especially in securing the last goal.

This increased card count had a direct impact on Saudi Arabia (Youth)'s ability to maintain a defence against Mexico's final attack, evidenced by the goal scored in the 70th minute. The home team, exemplifying composure, did not receive any cards - a testament to their precise and clean playstyle.

In sum, this match highlighted how discipline and effective use of set-pieces play an instrumental role in achieving success in football matches. For Saudi Arabia (Youth), their inability to maintain their discipline significantly cost them, while for Mexico (Youth), their disciplined style of play and exploitation of opponent mistakes eventually led them to a well-deserved victory.
