In the goalless encounter between AE Altos and Santa Cruz PE, both teams displayed a commendable defensive effort, with neither side managing to break the deadlock. Notably, the match was characterized by a higher number of corner kicks, where Santa Cruz PE appeared more dominant, earning seven compared to AE Altos’ three. This suggests that Santa Cruz PE was able to maintain more offensive pressure, but their inability to capitalize on set-piece opportunities was a significant factor in their failure to score.

Discipline was a potential turning point yet surprisingly did not heavily impact the final outcome, despite Santa Cruz PE receiving three yellow cards compared to AE Altos' single caution. Santa Cruz PE’s aggressive approach resulted in these cautions, particularly during the second half where the majority of fouls were committed in quick succession, as evidenced by the closely timed yellow cards. However, AE Altos were unable to exploit the potential vulnerabilities that could arise from their opponents’ aggressive playstyle.

The teams’ efforts at maintaining organized play can be reflected in the nearly non-existent offsides, with AE Altos having no offsides and Santa Cruz PE only one. This indicates a disciplined forward line from both sides but could also signify a lack of risky attacking play that is sometimes needed to break through defenses. The overall defensive solidity and lack of breakthroughs underline that while Santa Cruz PE had the upper hand in terms of attack volume via corner kicks, neither team could find the creativity or finishing ability needed to shift the scoreline.
