In the recent Saudi Professional League encounter, Al Kholood emerged victorious over Damac FC with a narrow 2-1 win. A crucial aspect of Al Kholood's success was their defensive discipline, particularly evidenced by their zero offsides. This contrasted sharply with Damac FC’s lack of precision in attacking movements as they were caught offside four times. The ability to stay onside allowed Al Kholood to maintain momentum and capitalize on the early lead within the first 11 minutes and later secure the decisive goal in the second half.

Both teams demonstrated a reasonable degree of attacking intent, reflected in their corner kick statistics, with Damac FC having a slight edge at five compared to Al Kholood's three. However, Al Kholood’s effective transition from defense to attack, coupled with their better use of the ball in critical areas, minimized the damage from set pieces. Damac FC, despite having more corner opportunities, failed to convert these into tangible scoring chances, highlighting a lack of cohesion in their set-piece execution.

From a discipline perspective, Damac FC's 16 fouls to Al Kholood’s 13 indicate a more aggressive approach, possibly trying to regain control after conceding. However, this aggressive play didn’t translate into dominance, as Damac FC received no yellow cards, suggesting their fouls were more strategic than reckless. In contrast, an early yellow card for Al Kholood may have influenced their focus on maintaining defensive solidity. Overall, Al Kholood’s ability to execute their game plan with greater precision and teamwork was instrumental in securing all three points in this encounter.
