San Marcos de Arica narrowly secured a 1-0 victory over Universidad de Concepcion, driven largely by their discipline in critical moments. Despite amassing five yellow cards and one red card, San Marcos displayed resilient defending after scoring early in the second half. The home team's ability to avert conceding, particularly with multiple bookings, highlighted their effective backing from the defensive line and the goalkeeper’s composure under pressure.

The match remained evenly poised in terms of opportunities, with both sides earning five corner kicks. However, Universidad de Concepcion struggled to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities and found themselves caught offside twice, indicating a lack of precision in the final third. San Marcos, meanwhile, maintained discipline by avoiding offside infringements, reflecting a coordinated attack strategy that avoided unnecessary turnovers.

Given the high card count, the match was characterized by physical play, which seemed to destabilize Universidad de Concepcion’s rhythm more than San Marcos’. Despite being reduced to ten men, the home side’s coherent team effort ensured they held onto their single-goal advantage. The result underlined the importance of tactical discipline and exploiting opposition weaknesses rather than amassing possession or chances.
