In a tightly contested affair, Deportivo Guastatoya managed a narrow 1-0 victory over Deportivo Malacateco. The early goal scored in the 17th minute set the tone for the remainder of the match. Both teams demonstrated disciplined defensive play, but Guastatoya was particularly effective in maintaining their slim lead despite their higher foul and yellow card count.

Deportivo Malacateco, enabling their robust attacking framework, earned a considerable 14 corner kicks compared to Guastatoya's 5. However, they struggled to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals, signifying a lack of finishing precision or perhaps an impassable Guastatoya defense. Their attempts were further overshadowed by a significant disciplinary issue, accumulating a total of three yellow cards leading to two red card ejections, underlining an aggressive yet costly approach throughout the match.

Deportivo Guastatoya's resilience was notable, enduring six yellow cards, yet only conceding eight fouls compared to Malacateco’s sixteen. This reflects disciplined defensive pressure offset by aggressive counter-attacking tactics. Despite being out-cornered and sharing an equal number of offsides at two each, Guastatoya’s disciplined approach and the ability to capitalize on Malacateco's defensive lapses in the opening 17 minutes ultimately defined the match outcome. The visitors' composure in defense and opportunistic finishing exhibited a strategic advantage that sustained their lead under persistent pressure.
