Okay, so, I was looking at the match between Al-Ettifaq and Al-Hazm. I started by looking into their past games. Turns out, they’ve gone head-to-head 16 times before! From what I gathered, Al-Ettifaq has won 9 of those matches, while Al-Hazm managed to snag 3 wins. The other 4? They ended in a tie.
I noticed something interesting, when these two teams face off, they tend to score an average of 3.31 goals in total. That’s quite a bit of action on the field, isn’t it?
Then I dug into the specifics of this particular match on December 28, 2023. It kicked off at 15:00 UTC. I checked out the live results, you know, all the stats, lineups, and player ratings, the usual stuff.
Key Moments
- 90’+2′: Abdullah Khateeb came in for Hamdan Al Shamrani for Al-Ettifaq, and R. Quaison replaced Mohammed Mahzari for Al-Hazm. Fresh legs on the field, trying to make something happen in those final moments.
Diving deeper, I learned that Al-Ettifaq and Al-Hazm have played a whopping 25 games against each other since way back in 2005. Al-Ettifaq seems to have the upper hand, winning 14 of those games, with a total of 53 goals. That averages out to about 2.1 goals per game for them.
Other Stuff
I even looked into the disciplinary side of things, you know, yellow and red cards. They assign points for each card – 1 for a yellow, 3 for a red. It’s just for ranking, nothing official.
Oh, and get this – Al-Hazm was missing Ben Traore, who’s usually on loan from Leixoes. That could’ve affected their game, who knows?
I got a bit carried away and started looking at all sorts of football stuff – FIFA World Cup, the Olympics, UEFA European Championship, even the CONMEBOL Copa America, Gold Cup, AFC Asian Cup, and CAF Africa Cup of Nations, you know, all that kind of things.
So, yeah, that’s basically how I went through all the details about the Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Hazm match. From their past encounters to the nitty-gritty of this specific game, it was quite a deep dive into the world of football!
