In this Campeonato Maranhense Serie A clash, IAPE FC emerged victorious over Pinheiro AC with a 2-0 win. The home side's attack was effective, with two crucial goals scored, one in each half. IAPE's opening goal came relatively early at 25:20, allowing them to set the tempo of the match and pressure the visitors. This early goal was a pivotal moment, as it forced Pinheiro AC to play catch-up.

The home team's dominance was further reflected in their corner kick advantage, winning eight compared to Pinheiro's three. This demonstrated IAPE's ability to consistently threaten the away side's defensive third. However, their eagerness also led to more physical challenges, as evidenced by their nine fouls and three yellow cards, compared to Pinheiro's five fouls and two yellows.

Pinheiro AC struggled to break down IAPE's defense, with no goals to show despite some decent chances. Although they maintained discipline with fewer fouls, their inability to capitalize when attacking resulted in zero goals. IAPE's second goal in the 78th minute, cemented their dominance and the game's result, showcasing their superior team cohesion and finishing ability. The away side’s lack of decisive final-third play and failure to exploit set pieces were significant factors in their defeat.
