Deportes Santa Cruz and Universidad de Concepcion delivered an intense match, ultimately favorable to the away team with a 2-1 victory. The match saw Universidad de Concepcion bouncing back promptly after conceding an early goal, showcasing their resilience with a quick equalizer and seizing the lead before halftime. Deportes Santa Cruz's early lead could have been a decisive psychological edge, yet their inability to capitalize on it further illustrates their struggle in maintaining pressure throughout the first half.

Statistically, both teams displayed an evenly matched contest, with corner kicks almost identical at seven for the home team and six for the visitors. However, disciplined gameplay was an area where Universidad de Concepcion fell short. They accumulated four yellow cards, including two just moments apart in the second half. This aggressive style led to a red card, which should have provided Deportes Santa Cruz a more significant opportunity to leverage an advantage, yet it was a missed strategic exploit.

Deportes Santa Cruz's failure to effectively use their numerical superiority is highlighted by the static scoreline in the second half. Both teams were even in fouls and offsides, 14 each respectively and one each, indicating aggressive approaches but prudent defensive lines. The intense physicality didn't translate into further goals for Deportes Santa Cruz as tactical substitutions and adjustments failed to break through Universidad’s defense, stressing the impact of the latter's first-half strategic setup and adaptation during the game.
