In a fiercely contested match in the UAE First Division, Al Dhafra claimed a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Al Thaid. Al Dhafra took an early lead with a goal in the 6th minute, showcasing their ability to capitalize on Al Thaid's defensive misalignment. Despite a strong first-half start, Al Thaid managed to regroup after the break, equalizing just minutes into the second half. However, Al Dhafra's resilience shone through as they regained the lead with a decisive goal in the 71st minute.

Al Thaid had more corner opportunities, with nine compared to Al Dhafra's four, indicating higher pressure on Al Dhafra’s defense. However, Al Thaid struggled with converting these set pieces into goals, a critical area that hampered their performance. Defensively, both teams exhibited discipline with zero red cards, but each side received two yellow cards, reflecting the intense and physical nature of the match's second half.

Offensively, Al Dhafra demonstrated better teamwork and execution by successfully navigating Al Thaid's defense, despite being caught offside three times—more than their opponent. Al Thaid's discipline in maintaining their defensive line kept them to just one offside, but they were unable to leverage this advantage into alternate attacking success. The match underscored Al Dhafra's efficiency and ability to regain momentum after losing their lead, ultimately sealing the match with their precise finishing.
