In the Saudi Professional League match on 26 February 2025, Al Khaleej Saihat hosted Al Ittihad Jeddah for a tightly contested 1-1 draw. Both goals came in the second half, with Al Ittihad breaking the deadlock through a precise strike at 01:17:46. Al Khaleej's equalizer followed at 01:35:48, showcasing their resilience and strategic substitutions that invigorated their attacking line.

With both teams winning 6 corner kicks each, set-piece opportunities were evenly distributed and did not favor either side. Al Khaleej displayed slightly more disciplined play, committing only one foul compared to Al Ittihad’s three. This discipline was, however, overshadowed by Al Khaleej's two yellow cards, both of which likely influenced their ability to maintain aggressive defensive stances as pressure mounted in the second half.

Notably, Al Ittihad maintained a perfect offside discipline throughout the match. In contrast, Al Khaleej was caught offside once, indicating perhaps premature forward runs or miscommunication in their attacking play. This level of organization from Al Ittihad may have contributed to their defensive stability and ability to control possession without fear of conceding from advanced home team players. Overall, the match underscored the importance of tactical discipline and efficient use of chances by both teams, resulting in a deserved draw.
