CD El Nacional Quito showed an early aggressive effort scoring in the ninth minute of the first half, which eventually proved to be the decisive factor in the match. The rest of the game was characterized by mutual aggression, with both teams equally committing 6 fouls each, demonstrating neither side was giving the other an easy ride.

The disciplinary counts in this match were particularly noteworthy.

CD El Nacional Quito also faced disciplinary action with 2 yellow cards, one in later stages of first half and the other one early in the second half, which may have created some pressure on them but they were able to hold their ground sufficiently to protect their lead.

Mushuc Runa SC had an edge with 7 corner kicks against CD El Nacional Quito's 6. However, the ability to convert these opportunities into goals was evidently lacking in the case of Mushuc Runa SC.

In conclusion, the single goal score early in the game by CD El Nacional Quito, coupled with their capable defense, defined this match's outcome.
