The Matchup
Al-Khaleej and Al-Nassr drew 1-1 at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Al-Khaleej holding 38% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
