The encounter between Desportiva Ferroviaria VRD and Rio Branco VN ended in a 2-1 victory for the home side, partly owing to their superior attacking setup and effective use of corner kicks. Desportiva registered 7 corners compared to Rio Branco's 4, indicating a more consistent pressure on the attacking forefront. This offensive persistence likely facilitated their two goals, both scored during moments of regained momentum.

Despite Rio Branco taking an early lead at 23 minutes, their performance was hindered by disciplinary issues, receiving a total of five yellow cards. Notably, three of these came before the 42nd minute, causing tension and disrupting their rhythm. This lack of discipline gave Desportiva a necessary edge, both psychologically and strategically, resulting in their equalizer soon after and eventually leading to their winning goal in the second half.

Additionally, both teams had issues with staying onside, but Desportiva's slight advantage in maintaining discipline in this area, depicted by fewer offsides (3 to Rio Branco’s 2), contributed to maintaining pressure on Rio Branco’s defensive line. Defensive discipline was a crucial factor, as Desportiva efficiently limited Rio Branco's final third incursions, giving them room to consolidate their defence and strike effectively on the counter.
