In a tightly contested Liga 1 clash, FBC Melgar emerged victorious against Universitario De Deportes, securing a 1-0 win. The match's solitary goal came in the second half, at precisely 01:05:09, underscoring the importance of solid second-half performances in tight fixtures. FBC Melgar's narrow victory was shaped significantly by key statistical elements and disciplined defending.

Firstly, FBC Melgar's dominance in corner kicks, achieving five compared to Universitario’s two, indicated a more aggressive approach in the opposition half. This aggressive play forced Universitario’s defense into conceding several set-piece opportunities, ultimately keeping them on the back foot. However, Universitario's defensive resilience should not be overlooked given that they limited Melgar to just the single goal.

Discipline played a critical role; the home team's higher yellow card tally and a red card late in the second half (three yellow cards and one red card) showcased their intense approach to neutralizing threats. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Melgar's defensive unit performed commendably, denying Universitario any clear scoring chances. The single yellow card for Universitario at 00:55:54 marks a relatively cautious approach, yet it wasn't sufficient to dominate possession or create decisive opportunities.

Universitario's inability to capitalize on their extra player advantage, particularly after Melgar received the red card, was evident. The match statistics do not reveal specific goalkeeper saves or shots on target, but the limited corner kicks for Universitario suggest a lack of penetration and troubling the goal less frequently.

In summary, the key factors contributing to FBC Melgar's triumph were their strategic use of set-pieces, disciplined yet aggressive defensive play, and maintaining structure despite disciplinary setbacks. Universitario’s failures stemmed from their inability to exploit numerical superiority and underwhelming offensive pressure. This match highlights the crucial interconnectedness of offensive aggression, disciplined defense, and set-piece efficacy in determining football outcomes.
