In the Division 1 clash on April 20, 2025, Al Jahra narrowly defeated Al Sahel SC Abu Halifa with a pivotal early goal, securing a 1-0 victory. This decisive goal came just five minutes into the match, providing Al Jahra with an early psychological edge. Despite their lead, Al Jahra struggled to extend their advantage, facing a resolute Al Sahel defense which forced them into numerous offside situations, with three calls against them compared to five for Al Sahel—demonstrating a persistent pressing tactic by the visitors.

The match was fiercely contested with both teams accruing a high number of fouls and yellow cards, indicating a largely physical and aggressive encounter. Al Jahra committed 10 fouls while Al Sahel registered 9, highlighting a near equality in their defensive approach. Each side received a red card, contributing to the zero-sum battle, and both teams earned six and four yellow cards respectively. This level of physicality undoubtedly disrupted the fluidity of the match, reducing it largely to set-piece opportunities, especially evident in the equal number of corner kicks each team had at five.

Substitutions on both sides failed to alter the game’s dynamic significantly, as neither team could capitalize fully on their offensive set pieces. Al Sahel's inability to convert chances was further compounded by their discipline issues, illustrated by their six yellow cards, including a particularly chaotic sequence in the second half where they received three yellow cards and a red card in rapid succession. This lack of discipline ultimately hindered any sustained attempts at clawing back into the match, ensuring Al Jahra’s slim but tenacious grip on their lead was enough to secure the victory.
