The Matchup
Al-Ahli 3-1 Al-Hazem was the final score at King Abdullah Sports City, in a game where Al-Ahli did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Al-Ahli also had the better share of the ball, holding 51% possession, which usually goes hand in hand with the extra control a winning side tends to show. The shot count told a similar story, with 23 attempts from Al-Ahli against 18 from Al-Hazem over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Al-Ahli, and Al-Hazem pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
