In a tightly contested match, Al Arabi SC Doha clinched a 2-1 victory over Umm Salal SC, with early dominance setting the stage. Al Arabi's quick opening goal within the third minute was pivotal, creating immediate pressure on the visitors. Their second goal before the half-hour marked solidified a commanding first-half performance, showcasing superior offensive execution and exploiting Umm Salal's defensive lapses.

Umm Salal SC made tactical adjustments in the second half, evident in their increased attacking initiatives. Their solitary goal in the 79th minute highlighted a strategic breakthrough; however, Al Arabi's defense held firm under pressure. The increased number of offsides against Al Arabi (5 to Umm Salal’s 3) reflected their aggressive forward play but also showed a well-organized defensive line from Umm Salal, largely frustrating the home team’s attempts to extend their lead.

Despite Umm Salal's proactive approach involving five corner kicks to Al Arabi's four, they struggled to convert these opportunities into goals. Additionally, Umm Salal's discipline faltered, amassing three yellow cards, which hindered their momentum further in the closing stages. Al Arabi's ability to maintain composure, with only one yellow card, contributed significantly to their victory, highlighting the balance in their tactical discipline and effective game management.
