In an intense Second Division League match on September 17, 2025, Al Markhiya clinched a 2-1 victory over Al Kharaitiyat. The home team quickly established their dominance with an early goal just after 20 minutes played, showcasing their effective offensive approach and ability to exploit defensive gaps in the opposition. Al Markhiya’s early lead was later neutralized by an early second-half equalizer from Al Kharaitiyat, indicating a brief lapse in the home team's defensive structure.

While both teams demonstrated relatively aggressive approaches, the 17 fouls committed by Al Markhiya as opposed to Al Kharaitiyat’s 16 were significant. The higher foul count and the four yellow cards for Al Markhiya compared to two for Al Kharaitiyat highlight the physical nature of their play which bordered on the reckless at times. However, this aggressive strategy arguably contributed to disrupting the away team's rhythm, especially in the crucial periods leading up to Al Markhiya's winning goal in the 89th minute.

Looking at the tactical side, Al Kharaitiyat managed to secure more corner kicks than their opponents, securing four compared to Al Markhiya’s three. This indicates their pressure on the home defense, although without a decisive end product. Offside statistics show a cautious approach from both teams, with Al Markhiya flagged offside once and Al Kharaitiyat twice, reflecting disciplined defensive lines on both sides. Ultimately, Al Markhiya's ability to convert critical opportunities proved to be the deciding factor, securing their victory late in the match.
