Floresta EC's narrow 1-0 victory over AO Itabaiana can primarily be attributed to their strategic defensive play and effective use of set pieces. The decisive goal, scored shortly after the second half began, showcased Floresta's capability to capitalize on a moment of weakness in Itabaiana's defense. Despite having fewer corner kicks than Floresta's four, Itabaiana couldn't convert their two opportunities into equalizing goals.

The match was notably intense with both teams accumulating multiple yellow cards, totaling seven, which reflected the competitive and aggressive nature on the field. Floresta's discipline in avoiding a red card was instrumental in maintaining their slight edge throughout the match. Their ability to withstand pressure, particularly during Itabaiana's counter-attacks, kept the clean sheet intact.

Teamwork and coordination were slightly more cohesive for Floresta, allowing them to control key moments of the game despite limited offensive chances. AO Itabaiana, while equal in aggression and intent, faltered with the final ball in the attacking third. The accuracy and timing of Floresta’s passes, although not exceedingly numerous, proved just sufficient to hold their lead and effectively disrupt Itabaiana’s rhythm.
