Their dominance in possession and high number of corners reflected a proactive approach, but their defensive line was exposed on the break. Al Kholood's 4-3-3 formation allowed them to absorb pressure and spring forward quickly, with their midfield trio providing defensive cover and their front three exploiting spaces left by Al Khaleej's advancing full-backs. Substitutions and tactical tweaks in the second half injected fresh energy, but it was Al Kholood's counter-attacking strategy that ultimately paid dividends. Set pieces played a significant role for Al Khaleej, but Al Kholood's disciplined shape and physicality (evidenced by four yellow cards) helped them weather the storm. The late stages saw both sides push for a winner, but Al Kholood's directness and composure in front of goal made the crucial difference.
