In a Copa Colombia clash between Independiente Medellín and Fortaleza CEIF, the home side emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Independiente Medellín demonstrated superior offensive execution, initiating the scoring early in the first half and maintaining pressure with 7 corner kicks compared to Fortaleza's 5. The away team managed to level the score in the second half, demonstrating resilience, yet ultimately failed to contain Medellín's decisive second goal.

Fortaleza CEIF's efforts were undermined by their inability to effectively capitalize on attacking opportunities and manage discipline on the field. Although both teams registered equal offsides at three, Medellín's ability to control play was evident in their lower foul count, conceding only 12 fouls to Fortaleza's 9. This discipline was crucial in maintaining possession and dictating the pace of the game, despite both teams receiving a fair share of yellow cards.

The match was often disrupted by fouls, with Medellín taking on a more aggressive stance, resulting in three yellow cards versus Fortaleza’s single booking. This physical play style could have compromised Medellín's focus, yet they managed to sustain their performance levels. The statistical differentiation in fouls and corners highlights the impact of aggression and strategic positioning, ultimately edging out the visiting team in a tightly contested encounter.
