Analysis The numbers behind the result
Pyramids FC dominate possession but struggle to convert chances
Pyramids FC's 2-0 victory was deserved based on their control of the game (68% possession) and superior chance creation (13 total shots vs Abu Qair Semad's 2), but their finishing was suspect given their low xG of 0.62. The hosts only managed 4 shots on target from 7 attempts inside the box, suggesting profligacy despite Obama's opener (45+2') and Fakhoury's early second-half strike (48') securing the points.
Abu Qair Semad offered almost nothing in attack, failing to register a single shot on target or exceed 0.11 xG despite winning 5 corners. Their defensive setup (4-5-1 formation) limited Pyramids' clear chances but couldn't prevent two costly first-half moments: Hafez's assist for Obama and Samy's delivery for Fakhoury. The visitors' 32% possession translated to just 71% pass accuracy, leaving them incapable of sustaining pressure. The decisive stat? Abu Qair Semad's 0 shots on target - a clear indicator of their attacking impotence.
