In the CONCACAF Central American Cup encounter between CD Motagua and LD Alajuelense, Alajuelense narrowly defeated their hosts 2-1. The match started with an early goal from Motagua at 23 minutes, reflecting their initial aggressive tactic and efficient attacking. However, Alajuelense's rapid response with a goal at the 30-minute mark highlighted their resilience and ability to regroup quickly under pressure.

Statistically, the number of corner kicks suggests an intense and predominantly attacking game from Motagua, who had seven corners compared to Alajuelense’s three. However, despite creating more set-piece opportunities, Motagua's failure to efficiently convert their chances at corners points to an ineffective execution in their attacking third, which ultimately hindered their scoring potential.

The discipline shown by both teams played a significant role in this match, particularly affecting Alajuelense. They accumulated three yellow cards compared to Motagua’s one, indicating a more aggressive approach which could have risked a card disadvantage. Yet, Alajuelense managed to maintain composure and avoided any red cards. Their defensive discipline, despite the fouls, helped them sustain their lead after taking the critical go-ahead goal at 90 minutes in the second half. This goal not only showcased their strategic advantage in the late game but also underscored Motagua’s struggle to counter effectively, allowing Alajuelense to secure the win.
