Tactical Analysis
Al-Hazm's 4-3-3 formation allowed them to stretch the play and exploit spaces out wide, especially as the game progressed and Al-Ettifaq's defensive lines tired. Their midfield trio provided balance, with Fábio Martins orchestrating attacks and Youssouf Oumarou breaking up play. The hosts pressed aggressively after conceding, forcing turnovers and maintaining territorial advantage. Al-Ettifaq's 4-4-2 offered early attacking impetus, but the shape became increasingly defensive after their red card. The visitors struggled to transition effectively and were unable to support their forwards, leaving them isolated and limiting their threat. Set pieces were evenly matched, with both sides earning three corners, but Al-Hazm's superior shot volume and movement proved decisive.
