The match between Saudi Arabia (Youth) and Mali (Youth) in the Tournoi Maurice Revello ended in a balanced 2-2 draw. Both teams displayed strong attacking intent shown by the back-and-forth goal-scoring pattern. Saudi Arabia opened the scoring early in the first half through a well-executed team play, capitalizing on Mali's initial defensive disorganization. However, Mali responded just before halftime with a goal that was crucial for restoring their momentum. Quickly building on this, Mali showed their capability in executing plays right from the start of the second half, giving them a temporary lead.

Statistically, Mali had a slight advantage in terms of corner kicks with six compared to Saudi Arabia's four. This not only reflects Mali's offensive pressure but also their ability to push the ball forward and create set-piece opportunities. However, Saudi Arabia managed to balance the game with efficient shot conversions, minimizing the number of wasted chances by tying the game in the second half. The offside stats were equal for both teams, indicating well-maintained composure and discipline in their attacking lines.

Discipline, however, became a significant factor as Saudi Arabia accumulated four yellow cards to Mali's two. The matches' physicality possibly stemmed from defensive pressured scenarios, which reflected on the number of fouls. Although these did not translate into red cards, such a high number of bookings can lead to caution in key physical disputes. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, Saudi Arabia managed to equalize and prevented Mali from capitalizing on potential numerical or psychological advantages. The even distribution of the yellow cards throughout the match shows both teams' aggressive approach but balanced discipline.
