On Sunday, Al Sadd SC kicked off their season with a commanding 2-1 victory over Al Ahli Dubai FC in the Emirati League. The highlight of the game was Al Sadd's impressive performance, where they registered a total of 44 tackles in the opening match.

The team's defensive efforts were on full display as they managed to keep the opposition at bay for most of the match. Al Sadd's defense was particularly strong in the first half, where they prevented Al Ahli from creating any clear-cut chances. The visitors also had a few shots on goal, but goalkeeper Ahmed Al Thani was up to the task and made several important saves to keep his side in the lead.

In the second half, Al Sadd continued to dominate possession and create chances, which eventually paid off when they scored twice in the final 15 minutes. The first came from a penalty kick awarded after a handball by Al Ahli's defender, while the second was a well-taken strike that put Al Sadd ahead in the end.

Despite conceding two goals in the last five minutes, Al Sadd held on to secure their first win of the season. The result is a significant boost for the team, who have been heavily favored to win the title this season. With such a dominant performance, it will be interesting to see how Al Sadd perform against other teams in the coming weeks.
