Al Ittihad Jeddah displayed an impressive performance against Al Raed, securing a decisive 4-1 victory. The match opened with a quick goal from Al Ittihad at the 20th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Their ability to capitalize on early opportunities underscored their attacking potency, which was further highlighted by a second goal just before halftime, doubling their lead.

In contrast, Al Raed managed to respond early in the second half, reducing the deficit to 2-1. However, Al Ittihad regained their dominance swiftly with two additional goals in the 71st and 77th minutes, illustrating their superior ability to manage and shift the momentum of the game decisively in their favor.

Interestingly, the discipline on both sides was notably tested, with Al Ittihad receiving three yellow cards and Al Raed two. These infractions did not translate into red cards, but they indicate aggressive and perhaps overly cautious defenses, particularly from the home team. Offensively, Al Ittihad had four offside calls against them, reflecting their aggressive forward positioning and determination to stretch Al Raed's defense, albeit with a slight lack of timing.

Al Ittihad’s teamwork was evident not just in their goal-scoring but in their ability to control the game’s flow. Though they had fewer corner kicks than Al Raed, their superior finishing proved decisive. The home team’s ability to translate possession into goal-scoring opportunities showed their effectiveness over Al Raed’s comparatively tentative performance, reflected in their struggle to convert set pieces and break down Al Ittihad's defense.
