In a closely contested encounter in the UAE Pro League, Al Ittihad Kalba emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Baniyas UAE. The critical moment came in the second half, when Al Ittihad Kalba managed to break the deadlock at 01:28:22. This decisive goal underscored their ability to stay focused and seize opportunities, a contrast to the home team's inability to convert their chances into goals.

Baniyas UAE's discipline emerged as a significant concern, with two yellow cards issued in quick succession before the end of the first half. These bookings at 00:43:36 and 00:44:15 reflected a lack of composure, which hindered their ability to maintain pressure on Al Ittihad Kalba. The home team also recorded a total of 25 fouls, nearly double the 13 committed by Al Ittihad Kalba, which further disrupted their momentum and allowed the away team to control the game's flow more effectively.

Both teams had minimal opportunities from set-pieces, with only two corner kicks each, suggesting that neither side could capitalize on such situations to alter the scoreline. However, the match saw Baniyas UAE caught offside three times compared to Al Ittihad Kalba's two instances, showcasing a repeated inability to penetrate the defense effectively. Al Ittihad Kalba's disciplined defending, combined with opportunistic attacking play, were decisive in securing their narrow victory.
