In the match between Universidad de Concepcion and CD Magallanes, Universidad de Concepcion secured a narrow 2-1 victory, where clinical finishing was a deciding factor. The home team managed to score both goals, one in each half, demonstrating a clear efficiency in converting chances, despite not having any corner kick opportunities. In contrast, CD Magallanes failed to capitalize on their set-piece advantage, with five corner kicks not translating into goals, highlighting inefficiencies in their attacking set-piece execution.

Discipline played a significant role in this match, negatively impacting CD Magallanes' performance. They accrued four yellow cards, with two in the first half and two more in the second, indicating potentially reckless defending or a lack of composure under pressure. This may have restrained their ability to play aggressively in the latter stages of the match, as the risk of a red card loomed. Universidad de Concepcion, while not immune to disciplinary issues, maintained better control, acquiring only two yellow cards at strategic junctures of the game.

The timing of goals was crucial, with Universidad de Concepcion taking an early lead just under 15 minutes into the match, which set the tone and allowed them to dictate the play. Their second goal shortly into the second half further solidified their position before CD Magallanes could respond. The away team’s only goal, coming quickly after Universidad's second, was insufficient to swing the momentum decisively. CD Magallanes’ inability to level the score was significantly influenced by their inability to break through an organized home defense that maintained focus despite the one-goal margin late into the game.

Offside calls were evenly distributed, as both teams were caught offside twice, indicating an evenly matched tactical awareness from both defenses in handling pace and positioning of the attacking players. However, it was Universidad de Concepcion's ability to stay resolute and disciplined in crucial moments, coupled with their capability to capitalize on key attacking opportunities, that ultimately secured them all three points.
