In a match characterized by defensive solidity and a lack of clinical finishing, Madureira RJ and Nova Iguacu FC ended their engagement without any goals. Neither team managed to dominate in possession or create clear-cut opportunities, as evidenced by the scoreline. The lack of goals can be attributed to the defensive setups both teams employed, as there were few instances where either side showcased the potentially decisive creativity needed in the final third.

Both teams struggled to maintain discipline throughout the match, as reflected in the number of bookings. Madureira RJ received three yellow cards and saw two players dismissed with red cards, fundamentally impacting their ability to sustain pressure late in the game. Nova Iguacu FC, although not receiving any red cards, matched Madureira's yellow card tally, indicating a highly physical and somewhat scrappy encounter.

Set-pieces provided brief glimpses of excitement, yet neither side capitalized on their chances from corner kicks—three for Madureira RJ and two for Nova Iguacu FC. Offside calls also halted potential breakthroughs, with Madureira being flagged offside three times to Nova Iguacu's two. Ultimately, the lack of decisive action in front of goal and the influence of multiple player misjudgments, leading to cards, determined the stalemate. The implications of playing with reduced personnel for Madureira should not be understated as a significant factor in the inability to find the elusive winning goal.
