A breakdown of exactly how they did it.
Al-Hilal are not just Saudi Arabia's dominant club. They are one of the most expensively assembled squads on the planet, with a title-winning record that spans decades. For most sides in the Roshn Saudi League, preparing to face them is an exercise in limiting damage.
The output is a structured report combining team patterns, individual highlights, and the specific scenariAl-Taawoun head coach Péricles Chamusca had a different approach. Rather than organising his team to absorb pressure and hope for a counter, his staff went into the data looking for something specific — a structural weakness in Al-Hilal's game that Al-Taawoun could target with precision.
The question was whether the data would give them something concrete enough to build a game plan around.os that tend to decide results, supported by clips and screenshots for quick reference.
The corner kick vulnerability wasn't something a standard scouting report would have surfaced. It required building a specific tracker — filtering Al-Hilal's defensive set-piece situations across recent matches, overlaying player positioning and outcome data, and identifying the pattern beneath the surface.
That is what MyGamePlan is built for. Rather than serving up generic statistics, it lets coaching staff define what they want to understand about an opponent and get back footage and data organised around exactly that question. Chamusca's staff asked about defensive weaknesses. The platform gave them a percentage and the clips to back it up.
They walked into one of the hardest fixtures in Saudi football knowing something Al-Hilal didn't expect them to know.

Book a demoThe analysis didn't just suggest Al-Hilal were vulnerable at set pieces. It showed exactly how often — and in which moments — opponents had exploited it. Specific enough to train against.
Chamusca's staff arrived at the Kingdom Arena knowing where their opportunity was. That clarity is the difference between hoping for a result and preparing for one.
MyGamePlan's analysis of Al-Hilal's recent matches revealed a pattern that wasn't visible in standard statistics. Opponents were converting 40% of corner kicks against Al-Hilal into shots or goals. In the final 15 minutes of matches, that figure rose to 60%.
It was a structural vulnerability — consistent enough across multiple games to be reliable, specific enough to be actionable. Chamusca's coaching staff built their set-piece preparation around it. Al-Taawoun knew exactly when and how to target it.
The 2-2 draw disrupted Al-Hilal's title charge. For a club without the resources of the Saudi Pro League's elite, it was a statement result.
