Al Faysali Held by Shabab Al Ordon in Goalless Amman Draw

Match overview

Al Faysali and Shabab Al Ordon shared a 0-0 draw at Amman International Stadium in Round 8 of the Jordanian Premier League. Neither side found a breakthrough in either half, with the score remaining goalless from start to finish.

The result came despite a substantial statistical edge for Al Faysali. The home side had more of the ball, produced more attacks and carried the greater volume of threat, but Shabab Al Ordon protected their clean sheet and took a point away from Amman.

Al Faysali control the numbers

Al Faysali recorded 62% possession to Shabab Al Ordon’s 38%, reflecting the home side’s larger share of the ball across the match. They also registered 123 attacks compared with 93, while their advantage was especially pronounced in dangerous attacks: 86 to 50.

That territorial and attacking edge translated into more efforts at goal. Al Faysali finished with 12 total shots, including seven on target, while Shabab Al Ordon posted three shots in total and two on target. The home side also registered 15 goal attempts, against four for the visitors.

Those figures point to Al Faysali having the greater attacking presence, but the final score underlined that pressure alone was not enough to separate the teams. Shabab Al Ordon’s seven saves, compared with two for Al Faysali, were a significant part of the statistical picture in a match that remained level.

Shabab Al Ordon stand firm

The visitors won nine corners, one more than Al Faysali’s eight, and recorded 20 throw-ins to the hosts’ 19. Those details show that the game still featured competitive phases away from the home side’s longer spells on the ball.

Shabab Al Ordon also registered 85 ball-safe actions, while Al Faysali recorded 92. With no goals in either half, the visitors’ ability to keep the home side from turning their attacking numbers into a decisive moment was central to the outcome.

Both teams used all five of their recorded substitutions. The available match data does not provide player-by-player line-ups or individual ratings, so the match can best be assessed through the team totals and recorded events.
