The clash between Santos de Guapiles and AD Municipal Perez Zeledon was marked by a notable contrast in discipline and efficiency, contributing largely to the home side's 3-1 victory. Santos de Guapiles capitalized on their early aggression with a goal at the 6th minute, setting the tone for a dominant first half. Although Perez Zeledon managed to equalize in the 20th minute, they struggled to maintain momentum, conceding another goal just before half-time, providing Santos with a psychological edge heading into the break.

Santos demonstrated superior teamwork and fluidity in their attack, evident by maintaining a perfect offside record, indicating well-timed runs and precise passing. Their ability to stay organized and avoid offside traps illustrated their tactical discipline, which contrasted sharply with Perez Zeledon's one-offside call, reflecting a lack of synchronization in the visitors' forward line. Although both teams matched each other with two corner kicks each, it was Santos' effective conversion of opportunities that set them apart.

Perez Zeledon's downfall was exacerbated by their lack of discipline, epitomized by the red card they received in the second half, which left them shorthanded and vulnerable. This numerical disadvantage was crucial, as it came after Santos' only yellow card, awarded in the 50th minute, that marked their only disciplinary slip. Santos’ ability to maintain composure under pressure allowed them to control the game’s tempo, leading to a third goal in the second half. This demonstrated not only their composure but also indicated Perez Zeledon's inability to adapt defensively.
