In a commanding performance, Deportivo Cuenca secured a 3-1 victory over CD Universidad Catolica Quito, asserting their dominance primarily in the first half. The home team began aggressively, netting their first goal within just four minutes, setting the tone for the match. They displayed clinical finishing with three goals by half-time, notably capitalizing on key opportunities when they arose, despite a relatively even distribution of corner kicks and offsides with only one apiece for each team.

CD Universidad Catolica Quito managed to equalize mid-first half, but their inability to maintain consistent defensive pressure allowed Deportivo Cuenca to strike twice more before the break. The away side's defensive lapses were evident, as they struggled to contain the fluid attacking movements and precise passing of Deportivo Cuenca. With no notable edge in possession or aggression to gain an advantage, Quito's limited shot accuracy and conversion rate came to the fore.

Discipline, or the lack thereof, significantly impacted the game's flow, particularly for the away team. Collecting three yellow cards in the second half alone, CD Universidad Catolica Quito faced constraints in mounting a comeback without risking further disciplinary issues. Deportivo Cuenca, with two yellow cards, balanced aggression with caution, effectively managing their lead. Ultimately, the home team's sharp finishing and adept game management underlined their victorious performance, overshadowing the visitors' efforts.
