In a tightly contested match, Deportivo Riestra emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over CA Lanus. Despite Lanus having a higher number of corner kicks (7 compared to Riestra's 3), they were unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities. Riestra's defense remained disciplined and effective, successfully clearing threats and keeping the Lanus strikers at bay. This defensive solidity was crucial in maintaining their clean sheet throughout the match, highlighting their teamwork and cohesive backline efforts.

Offensively, Deportivo Riestra was more clinical in their finishing. Although they had fewer opportunities, their ability to convert limited chances into goals was decisive. The timing of their goals in quick succession during the second half (at 01:16:02 and 01:25:30) demonstrated their strategic sharpness and ability to seize moments when Lanus might have been regrouping after the first setback. This efficiency stood in stark contrast to Lanus's performance, whose shots on target failed to challenge the Riestra goalkeeper significantly.

Discipline was a factor, with both teams receiving yellow cards; however, Lanus's two bookings (occurring at 00:26:50 and 00:52:43) potentially disrupted their rhythm more than Riestra's solitary caution. The additional yellow card increased the pressure on Lanus players, possibly affecting their mental state and leading to a more cautious and less aggressive approach in crucial moments. This contrast in discipline and risk management between the teams subtly contributed to the away side's success in controlling the game's tempo and ultimately securing the win.
