In this Qatar Stars League match, Al Sadd SC Doha edged out Al Shamal SC with a narrow 1-0 victory. The deciding moment came early in the second half, at 01:13:41, when Al Sadd capitalized on their offensive advantage. The single goal turned out to be crucial, as both teams failed to find the back of the net thereafter. Defensively, both sides were disciplined in maintaining their shape, which is evident by the lack of red cards issued.

Al Sadd's ability to convert set pieces into scoring opportunities was a clear advantage, as they earned five corner kicks compared to Al Shamal’s three. This edge in attacking set pieces, combined with their ability to maintain composure and avoid a red card despite receiving two yellow cards, was pivotal. Their proactive approach in pressuring Al Shamal's defense allowed them to control the pace for significant stretches of the match, though their efforts largely came to fruition only through the decisive singular goal.

Al Shamal SC struggled to counter Al Sadd’s tactics effectively, though they matched the home team in intensity, as indicated by the two yellow cards they accumulated in the second half. Their defensive setup and discipline helped to limit Al Sadd's goal-scoring opportunities to just one successful conversion. However, their inability to convert their three corner kicks into tangible scoring threats, coupled with the absence of any notable offensive output, underscored their offensive inefficiency throughout the match.
