The Matchup
Al-Ittihad beat Al-Faisaly 1-3 at Al Majma'ah Sport City, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 47% in favour of Al-Faisaly, Al-Ittihad made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 10 attempts from Al-Faisaly against 12 from Al-Ittihad over the course of the game. Al-Faisaly had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line.
