The match between Ypiranga de Erechim and AO Itabaiana ended in an exciting 3-2 victory for the home side. Ypiranga's early lead with a goal in the 10th minute set the tone for a high-paced first half. AO Itabaiana responded promptly with an equalizer but soon found themselves trailing again due to Ypiranga's attacking prowess, demonstrated by their second goal before halftime. Ypiranga's third crucial goal came early in the second half, giving them a comfortable lead that they managed to hold onto despite a late goal from Itabaiana.

One notable statistical disparity was in corner kicks, with Itabaiana earning 11 to Ypiranga's 3. This is indicative of the pressure Itabaiana exerted, especially in the wide areas, trying to find a breakthrough. However, their inability to convert these set-piece opportunities into more goals is a significant factor in their loss. Conversely, Ypiranga was more clinical in front of goal, maximizing their fewer opportunities and showcasing an efficient strike force.

Disciplinary issues were also evenly matched with both sides receiving three yellow cards. The central tenacity of both teams, resulting in these cautions, did influence the game’s fluidity, particularly in the second half. Itabaiana's second yellow card early in the second half possibly hindered their aggression, coinciding with Ypiranga's decisive third goal shortly after. The close timeline of yellow cards and goals highlights the impact of foul-related stoppages on match momentum, particularly for Itabaiana.
