Despite Al Wathba making a resounding comeback in the second half, it was not enough to prevent Al Ittihad Aleppo from securing the game-winning goal shortly after.

The match commenced with Al Ittihad Aleppo applying pressure early on and taking the lead in the first half at 00:15:53. Al Wathba SC, while commanding in corners, lacked precision in the front end, as suggested by their only goal being scored later, in the second half, at 01:26:02.

This resulted in a reflection in the final scoreline, emphasizing the importance of converting opportunities, controlled possession, and maintaining discipline on the field.

In conclusion, major factors in Al Ittihad Aleppo's win were their early lead, decisive strike in the second half, and remarkable resilience despite their lesser corner opportunities and numerical disadvantage on the field.
