The clash between CSD Macara and CD Universidad Catolica Quito showcased a decisive victory for the visitors, who emerged with a 4-1 win. Macara started brightly with an early goal at 00:26:09, which gave them initial momentum. However, Universidad Catolica's quick response with two goals in the latter stages of the first half reshaped the dynamics, highlighting their effective transitional play and capacity to exploit gaps in Macara's defense.

Statistically, Universidad Catolica demonstrated superior clinical finishing, converting their chances with high efficiency. Despite granting fewer corner kicks compared to Macara's six, Catolica maintained composure at the back, ensuring these set pieces did not translate into significant threats. This defensive solidity allowed them to focus on swift counterattacks, which were pivotal in their scoring, especially in the second half where they extended their lead.

Macara's discipline was tested throughout the match, evidenced by their two yellow cards in the first half. These bookings may have curtailed their defensive aggression and contributed to the space Universidad Catolica found between the lines. Despite the relatively balanced foul count—seven from Macara and five from Catolica—the home side struggled to recover from their defensive miscues, which were expertly punished by their opponents. Catolica's solitary yellow card shows they managed to keep their discipline while mounting an all-around dominant performance.
