Overview

Who Al Ahly FC are and how the season actually went — the authoritative record first, tactical identity second.

Who Are They? — Identity

The question
In one read, what kind of team is Al Ahly FC and how good was the season?
Read. Al Ahly FC currently sit #3 of 20 on 10 points (3W-1D-0L, 2.50 pts/game), scoring 7 and conceding 3 for a goal difference of +4. On the ball they are a possession-dominant team (69% field tilt, #1 in the league); off it they defend with a moderate-press (#7 of 20 for press intensity). Across the 4 matches of event data, they create 1.45 xG/game (#4) and concede 0.80 (#7), a net of +0.65 xG/game — the underlying performance matches the actual goal difference.

Match Momentum — when they create and concede danger

The question
Across a whole game, which periods does Al Ahly FC actually dominate for chances — and which periods hurt them?

Net xG (created minus conceded) in each 15-minute window, summed across the whole season's matches — above the line is time they dominate for chances, below is time it hurts them. Real on-clock shot timing, the only event type on this platform with a genuine in-match timestamp.

Al Ahly FC tend to come alive after the break — first-half net xG -1.20, second-half +3.82. Their strongest period is 61-75' (net +1.52 xG); their most dangerous period to face is 16-30' (net -1.16 xG against them).

Tactical DNA

The football question
In five genes, what is Al Ahly FC's footballing identity?

Each gene is a 0–100 score — the team's league percentile across the metrics that define that phase of play. It distils the whole report into an identity fingerprint: the taller the gene, the more that trait defines them.

Field Tilt — Territorial Control

The question
How much of the pitch does Al Ahly FC actually control, relative to the rest of the league?

Field tilt = share of final-third touches between the two sides across Al Ahly FC's matches, the standard proxy for territorial dominance. Plotted against points per game for every side in the league — the real question isn't just who controls territory, it's whether that control actually converts into results. Dashed lines mark the league average on each axis; Al Ahly FC highlighted. Hover any dot for the team.

Vision AI Model Insight
Al Ahly FC post 69% field tilt, ranking #1 of 20 in the league — a genuinely territory-dominant side, and their 2.50 points/game sits above the league-average return — territory is genuinely converting into results.

Which Zones Do They Attack Through?

The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Al Ahly FC actually do its on-ball work?

Every pass and carry Al Ahly FC makes, binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shown as a % share of all on-ball actions.

2%5%8%5%2%7%11%14%13%8%5%4%4%5%7%VISION AI
Vision AI Model Insight
Their single busiest zone is the centre of the middle third (14.5% of all actions). 70% of actions run through the inside lanes (centre + both half-spaces) versus 30% down the two wings — an inside-dominant, half-space build. By third: 21% defensive, 54% middle, 25% attacking.

Build-Up — the tactical board

The football question
How does Al Ahly FC progress possession from defence into attack — and who runs it?

The board is the picture: each flow line is one of their most-repeated build-up passes — it brightens from blue to red toward its destination (where the threat lands), its width is how often it is played, and travelling particles show the direction. Toggle the overlays to isolate lateral, forward or switch passes; hover any line and the sidebar names its dominant passer.

Origin Fans — where they can actually go

The four busiest build-up origins, each fanning into the directions they really pass in. Blade width is how often that direction is used, colour is the threat it adds. The spread is the point: a narrow fan is a predictable side you can press on one shoulder, a wide one keeps its options open.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Al Ahly FC build predominantly down the left, with Attia as the fulcrum (203 build-up passes). Only 24% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is C mid → LHS mid (62×) — deny that lane and you slow their whole build.

Cause → effect. They move the ball well, but only 32% of progressive passes break the final-third line — the rest is lateral recycling in front of the block. Deny the left half-space and you cut the supply at source, because 25% of it runs through two players.

Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal

A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.

Chance Creation

Chance Creation — the tactical board

The football question
How does Al Ahly FC consistently create dangerous chances — from which zones, and who creates them?

Each flow line is one of their most-repeated creation patterns (key passes — the pass before a shot). Watch the lines brighten from blue to red as they converge on the danger zone, which glows and pulses where the ball arrives; width = how often, particles show direction. Toggle to isolate the side it comes from; hover any line and the sidebar names its creator.

Danger Funnel — which service carries threat

Every key pass pooled by where it was played FROM, then drawn with its arrow width set by total xT rather than by count. A zone that produces a lot of cheap balls shrinks; one that produces a few decisive ones dominates. Where this disagrees with the volume map, the volume map is the misleading one.

They funnel chances into the c of the final third, most often via RW att → C att (6 key passes, most often from Zizo). Zizo is the primary source overall. They generate 1.45 xG a game and finish it clinical — they beat their xG, led by Zizo (2G), Achraf Bencharki (1G), Mohamed Magdy Afsha (1G).

Where does Al Ahly FC actually progress the ball with their feet, not a pass?

99 progressive carries this season across the whole squad (14% of 692 tracked carries total), grouped into up to 4 spatial patterns by where each carry starts and ends together — not just its origin zone. Median 15m, longest 43m. Most active carrier: Bencharki (14). Filter to one player below.

Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide

The question
How does Al Ahly FC deliver into the box from wide areas?

28 crosses (11 completed) and 25 cutbacks (8 completed) this season across the whole squad — two separate wide-delivery patterns, each its own map with a completed/failed filter. Neither is a tagged event on this data source, so both are inferred from pass geometry — the intended end point of a failed attempt is still real data: a cross starts from a wide channel and is aimed into the box; a cutback starts almost on the byline but is squared back rather than driven forward, aimed centrally around the box.

Honest limit — no transition timing
This source has no cross-event clock or possession sequences, so genuine transition metrics — 5-second counterpress, time-to-recover, press→shot within 10s, and xG/xT generated after a high regain — cannot be computed and are deliberately left out rather than estimated. Every number above is a direct read of recorded defensive actions and opponent passes.

Vulnerability Map — how opponents hurt them

The report flipped: where do opponents create their threat against Al Ahly FC? 146 opponent progressive passes and 20 shots faced (3.2 xG against) across the season.

Exploit here. Opponents generate the most threat through the central (26% of the danger they concede). That is the seam to attack: progress straight through the middle — occupy zone 14, play between the lines and run beyond the pivot.

How Do They Concede?

The question
Where do the goals against Al Ahly FC actually come from — open play, dead balls, and who supplies them?

Every goal Al Ahly FC conceded across the loaded matches — the opponent's shots in Al Ahly FC's own matches — plus every individual opponent key pass faced, each drawn as its own real arrow (not zone-clustered) with the % share of each zone behind it.

Vision AI Model Insight
3 goals conceded. 67% come in open play; set pieces account for only 0%, so dead-ball defending is not the main issue. 0% are headers — aerial defending is not where the damage comes from. Their supply line runs mainly through the left wing of the attacking third (25% of key passes faced) — that is the zone to shut off.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die

Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

Set-Piece Threat

14% of goals come from set pieces (1 of 7), worth 0.5 xG from 14 shots. Set pieces are a secondary threat; the danger is in open play.

Where do our own corners go?

29 corners taken this season, split by which flag they were taken from — arrows from the flag, dots at the delivery point, shaded by % of that side's corners landing in each zone (same treatment as the concede map below). No swing-direction (inswinger/outswinger) data exists in this event feed, only a start and end point per pass, which cannot show how the ball curved — so this shows what is genuinely knowable: where it lands, and short vs actually delivered. Tap or hover a dot for who took it and the match; filter to one match below and the shading recomputes for just that game.

Scouting Summary — How to Play Them

How to play them. Al Ahly FC are possession-dominant with a moderate-press. They sit off, so patience and width are needed to break them down; their attack runs at 1.45 xG/game — dangerous, and they concede 0.80/game (solid). Deny the box entries through their strongest channel and force them wide. [Event-data based — no tracking, so off-ball structure and marking scheme need video.]
