Al Ettifaq Dammam's tactical efficiency was pivotal in their 2-1 victory over Al Wehda Mecca. The home team showcased clinical finishing, converting two of their few opportunities. Their early goal set the tone, capitalizing on a momentary lapse in Al Wehda's defense. Al Ettifaq's ability to maintain defensive discipline, indicated by their zero yellow cards and offsides, allowed them to sustain their slight edge in a match dominated by pressure from Al Wehda.

In contrast, Al Wehda had a more aggressive approach with eight corner kicks, which underscored their persistent attacking intent. However, their inability to convert these set-piece opportunities highlighted a lack of precision in the final third. Despite having more opportunities, Al Wehda's forwards found themselves offside five times, disrupting their attacking rhythm and nullifying potential scoring opportunities.

The turning point came in the second half when Al Ettifaq reclaimed the lead late in the game. Their efficient teamwork and disciplined defense restricted Al Wehda to minimal clear shots on target. Al Wehda's discipline waned, evidenced by a single yellow card, contrasting with Al Ettifaq's clean sheet of cards. Ultimately, Al Ettifaq's superior composure and strategic execution outmatched Al Wehda's more chaotic, yet intense approach.
