In a closely contested encounter between Hatta and Al Thaid, the hosts emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Hatta's ability to capitalize on key moments, particularly in the second half, proved decisive. The home side took the lead early in the second half and maintained offensive pressure, doubling their advantage by the 82nd minute. Al Thaid responded swiftly with a goal just 11 minutes later, but it wasn't enough to alter the final result.

Despite having fewer corner kicks (2 compared to Al Thaid’s 5), Hatta managed to make better use of their attacking opportunities. Their first goal was a result of a well-crafted move that breached Al Thaid's defense. Hatta’s ability to convert chances, despite limited set-piece opportunities, highlighted their efficiency in front of goal. Al Thaid struggled to turn their higher number of corners into tangible benefits, emphasizing a lack of finishing prowess in set-piece scenarios.

Team discipline was commendable from both sides, as neither team received yellow or red cards, ensuring that the match was played in a fair spirit. Hatta's solid defensive setup was reflected in only allowing a single offside throughout the match. This defensive discipline restricted Al Thaid's attacking options and contributed significantly to maintaining Hatta's lead. The distinct lack of cards underlines the level of control and professionalism displayed by both teams but ultimately favored Hatta in maintaining continuity in their defensive and offensive phases.
