In the Premier League fixture on May 31, 2023, it was Al Wathba SC who came out on top against Al Jaish SC Damascus in a thrilling matchup. With Al Wathba SC securing a 2-1 victory, both teams displayed substantial effort and tactical prowess, but it was clear that certain statistical factors played a vital role in determining the outcome.

Al Jaish SC Damascus took an early stance, fetching their only goal during the 38th minute of the second half against Al Wathba SC. However, their defense could not withstand Al Wathba SC's sustained attacks, which led to the first equalizing goal in the 79th minute, and finally, the decisive 2nd goal in the 93rd minute.

Interestingly, Al Wathba SC committed more than double the number of fouls as Al Jaish (8 against 3). However, these remain unpunished in terms of yellow or red cards, indicative of either a more aggressive play style, or perhaps some unfocused defending moments that didn't garner significant punitive reactions.

In the matter of corner kicks, Al Wathba SC also held the upper hand, having 9 in contrast to Al Jaish’s 6. This reveals the attacking pressure that Al Wathba SC put on Al Jaish, especially considering that two late goals were scored in the second half.

However, it was surprising that the home team Al Jaish SC, despite securing an early lead, wasn't able to capitalize on it. Despite having fewer fouls, the aggression was notably less as compared to their rivals, which may have led to passive control of the game, eventually losing their lead and the match.

For Al Wathba SC, their performance showcased effective attacking play and persistent pressure that pulled off in the second half of the game. The higher number of corner kicks is indicative of their offensive domination. Match fouls could potentially point towards a more aggressive approach, yet no yellow or red card indicates their aggression was not reckless or out of control.

In conclusion, both teams fought hard, but it was Al Wathba SC's offensive aggression and constant pressure, combined with a disciplined yet determined approach, that eventually led them to victory. For future encounters, Al Jaish SC Damascus will need to maintain a vigilant defense and intensify its attacking strategy.
