In this Primera Division matchup between CD Iquique and CD Union La Calera, the final scoreline of 1-1 was a fair reflection of a closely contested encounter. CD Iquique opened the scoring early on, with their goal in the 9th minute setting the tone for a game that saw both teams pressing hard. Union La Calera quickly responded with an equalizer in the 27th minute, demonstrating their aptitude for seizing critical moments.

Statistically, Union La Calera appeared more aggressive in their defensive play, amassing four yellow cards, all in the second half, indicating sustained high-pressure tactics. This might have restrained their attacking options, as they did not manage to tip the balance despite having slightly more corner kicks (4 to Iquique's 3). The higher number of fouls committed by Union La Calera, as evidenced by their considerably higher yellow card count, reflects their potentially disrupting CD Iquique's gameplay and flow.

CD Iquique, on the other hand, demonstrated disciplined form with only two yellow cards, both in the first half. Their offside count (1 compared to Union La Calera's 0) points to more frequent aggressive advances into the attacking third. However, the lower corner kick count suggests they may have had fewer clear-cut opportunities, reflecting a struggle to breach Union La Calera's defense consistently.

Teamwork was evident from both sides, but CD Iquique's early goal and subsequent ability to hold their ground under increasing pressure from Union La Calera's aggressive style were crucial. Meanwhile, Union La Calera's equalizing goal and higher corner kick count indicate effective utilization of set-pieces and a slightly more proactive stance in offensive maneuvers. Tactical discipline, particularly CD Iquique’s ability to avoid reckless fouls in the second half, was another key factor in maintaining the scoreline.
