Once Caldas edged Alianza Valledupar 1-0, with the winner coming in the 15:58 minute of the first half. The home side dominated the attacking play enough to rack up 9 corners, while Valledupar recorded 0. This early strike set the tone for a match played largely in Valledupar’s defensive shape.

Once Caldas displayed clear attacking intent through width and repeated crosses, evident in the high corner tally. Valledupar offered little on the other flank, with no corners to respond and limited direct routes to goal.

Defensively, Valledupar absorbed the pressure but without major clearances, while Once Caldas managed the game’s tempo with two yellow cards across the match. The absence of red cards indicates overall discipline from both sides, despite the heavy workload on Valledupar’s rearguard.

Set-piece superiority was the standout factor, as nine corners delivered a constant threat and kept Valledupar pinned in their own half. The away side’s inability to win any corners deprived them of a recurring outlet to escape pressure and alter the balance.

Tactically, Once Caldas leveraged the high-volume set-piece approach to control the match and convert the lone chance into victory. Valledupar’s plan centered on defense and compact structure, but the lack of set-piece opportunities limited their goal threat and opportunities to flip the scoreline.
