CD Puerto Montt secured a 2-0 victory over Deportes Santa Cruz at home. The opening goal arrived before the half-hour mark at 00:39:28, setting a lead Puerto Montt would defend. A second-half strike at 01:18:02 extended the advantage and sealed the result; the home side kept a clean sheet in the process.

Santa Cruz generated pressure but could not convert, ending with four corners to Puerto Montt's two. They also committed 11 fouls to nine and earned two early yellows in the first half at 00:20:04 and 00:22:24. Those early bookings likely disrupted their rhythm and attacking tempo.

Puerto Montt's competitive discipline showed with a second-half yellow at 01:22:15, but they maintained structure to preserve the shutout. Offside counts were 3 for Puerto Montt and 2 for Santa Cruz, suggesting Puerto Montt tested the opposition's lines more frequently.

Attacking intent from Puerto Montt materialized in two decisive moments; the first-half goal plus the late second-half strike reflect efficient finishing under pressure. Defensively, the home side absorbed Santa Cruz's pressure after going ahead, restricting clear goal-scoring opportunities.

The most influential factors were the early lead and Puerto Montt's robust defense, which allowed them to press less as the game wore on. Santa Cruz's aggressive approach and higher foul count failed to translate into goals, while set-pieces did not yield a tally despite more corners for the visitors.
