In an intriguing clash between CD Sport Huancayo and Sporting Cristal, the match's outcome pivoted largely on tactical discipline and efficient play. Sporting Cristal secured a 1-0 victory, with the pivotal moment occurring early in the second half. This goal came just over a minute into the second half, a testament to their prompt adjustment following the halftime break. The visiting team’s strategy of seizing early opportunities in the second half paid off as they capitalized swiftly, demonstrating decisiveness in the attacking third.

Sporting Cristal's defensive organization was crucial, limiting CD Sport Huancayo to a goalless match. Despite facing more corner kicks from Huancayo, with the home team earning seven corners compared to Cristal's four, the visitors maintained composure and structure. Their ability to resist these set-piece pressures without resorting to fouls was noteworthy, as they managed to avoid red cards and conceded only one yellow card midway through the second half.

CD Sport Huancayo seemed to struggle with converting opportunities into goals, a significant factor given their seven corner attempts. Their inability to break Sport Huancayo's compact defense suggested a lack of clinical finishing or creative solutions in the final third. The absence of offside calls against them indicates either a smooth coordination in their forward runs or, more likely, a conservative approach in the face of a disciplined Cristal defense. As a result, Cristal’s slight edge in maintaining discipline, coupled with their swift counterattack, resulted in a deserved yet narrow victory.
