Despite an impressive show of technical mastery and a higher number of corner kicks by Al Riyadh SC, Al Tai FC managed to clinch the Saudi Professional League match with a 2-1 victory on 19th April 2024.

The match started off energetically with Al Tai FC netting their first goal in the initial minutes of the game, precisely at 00:45:02. The relatively early goal not only provided a psychological advantage for Al Tai FC but also put pressure on Al Riyadh SC to play catch-up for the rest of the first half.

Al Riyadh SC managed to equalize early in the second half at 00:59:17. Notably, their goal came without the advantage of offside, as the home team had no recorded offside offenses.

The number of corner kicks is a good indication of teams' offensive power. Al Riyadh SC registered a high total of 6 corner kicks compared to Al Tai FC's 3, showing Al Riyadh performed commendably in terms of attacking offence. Unfortunately, they were unable to translate these opportunities into goals.

On the disciplinary front, Al Tai FC received significantly more yellow cards than Al Riyadh SC, with 5 and 1 recorded respectively. The issue of discipline seems to be problematic for Al Tai FC as their yellow cards were issued across both halves of the game, which could have potentially jeopardized their victory. However, Al Riyadh SC's single red card at a crucial juncture may have significantly affected their game performance and tactics, despite maintaining a relatively cleaner disciplinary sheet.

The deciding factor came late in the match, with Al Tai FC hitting the back of the net at 01:42:40 to take the lead. It's worth noting the timing of this second goal. Al Tai FC effectively capitalized on playing against a 10 man team following Al Riyadh SC’s red card.

In conclusion, Al Tai FC effectively capitalized on their opportunities despite being on the back foot in terms of discipline and corner kicks. Conversely, Al Riyadh SC, with a solid attacking performance and relatively clean game, should analyze their inability to capitalize on opportunities and the impact of the red card to bolster future chances at victory.
