In the UAE Pro League match on 11th May 2023, Al Jazira Club Abu Dhabi played an excellent game, defeating Al Ittihad Kalba by 2-0. Al Jazira managed to secure victory on their home ground by a combination of tactical prowess, goal-scoring efficiency and disciplined defense.

Al Jazira's robust performance was instantly noticeable in the scoreline; with both goals scored during the second half. The first goal came at 01:04:12 and the second solidifier came towards the end at 01:30:49 delivering a clear 2-0 victory. The goals perfectly catered to the game's tempo and Al Jazira's momentum in the match.

Statistically looking at fouls, both teams were neck to neck with 6 fouls each during the entire match. This shows that both teams exhibited a competitive physical play. Nevertheless, it was Al Ittihad that struggled more in terms of discipline. The away team accrued three yellow cards in quick succession in the second half, specifically at 01:17:56, 01:34:46 and 01:34:47. Al Jazira, on the other hand, managed to maintain their discipline until a single yellow card was issued late into the second half at 01:34:51 which didn't have a major impact.

Delving deeper into the statistics, the home advantage was apparent in terms of corner kicks and offsides. Al Jazira received more corner kicks (3) compared to Al Ittihad's attempts (2). This shows that Al Jazira had more opportunities to score, but it also highlights their successful execution in converting these opportunities into goals. Regarding offsides, Al Jazira was flagged offside 6 times compared to Al Ittihad's 2 times. This indicates that Al Jazira adopted a very aggressive tactic trying to break past the defense line, which in turn yielded them the needed goals.

In conclusion, Al Jazira proved to be the dominant side courtesy of their more aggressive attacking play, better utilisation of set-pieces and superior discipline. The away team, Al Ittihad Kalba, despite matching Al Jazira equally in terms of fouls, couldn't stand against their opponents, evidenced by their lack of discipline marked by 3 yellow cards and inability to score. Moving forward, Al Ittihad needs to work on their defensive organisation and discipline if they hope to fare better in future outings.
