The game was attended by approximately 1,500 fans. With this win, 'Al-Samawi' took a significant step towards securing their place in the top flight, raising their points tally to 20 and moving up to 11th place in the standings, surpassing Al-Dhafrer, who dropped to 12th with 18 points. Meanwhile, Al-Wehda's points total remained frozen at 34, keeping them in third place, tied with Al-Jazira. Bani Yas owes its victory to defender Mahamoudou Kamara, who scored the game's only goal. He capitalized on a cross from his teammate Suhail Al-Nuabi and headed the ball into the net in the 45+1 minute. In the second half, Al-Wehda dominated, pressing hard to equalize. The team had a golden opportunity to do so after Bani Yas midfielder Yahya Nader was sent off in the 84th minute, but the defense and goalkeeper Fahad Al-Zuhani managed to keep a clean sheet until the final whistle.
