Ceramica Cleopatra’s 2-0 win was fully deserved, reflecting their superiority in both chance creation and execution. With 63% possession and 14 total shots (11 inside the box), they generated an xG of 2.1, aligning perfectly with their two goals. Petrojet, by contrast, managed only nine shots (six inside the box) and a meager xG of 0.7, failing to trouble Cleopatra’s goalkeeper significantly. Cleopatra’s dominance in possession (529 total passes vs. Petrojet’s 289) was matched by their efficiency in the final third, where they consistently created higher-quality chances.

The game swung decisively in Cleopatra’s favor in the 30th minute, when Peter Gwargis capitalized on Nejc Gradisar’s assist to open the scoring. Their control was sealed in stoppage time (90+5) with Amr Al Sulaya’s penalty, ensuring the scoreline matched their dominance. Petrojet’s attempts to counter were disjointed, reflected in their higher foul count (16 vs. Cleopatra’s 13) and three yellow cards. Cleopatra’s clinical edge, combined with their ability to stifle Petrojet’s limited attacking threat, defined the outcome.

The decisive stat was Cleopatra’s ability to convert their dominance into shots on target (4 vs. Petrojet’s 1), underscoring their efficiency in front of goal and justifying the 2-0 victory.
