In a tightly contested Copa AUF fixture, Tacuarembo FC edged past Cerro Largo FC with a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to a decisive second-half goal. Tacuarembo's defensive resilience proved pivotal, effectively neutralizing Cerro Largo's attacking efforts. Despite Cerro Largo committing 22 fouls to the visitors' 12, showcasing their aggressive playstyle, it was Tacuarembo that maintained composure to capitalize on their limited opportunities.

The match was marked by physical play, resulting in nine yellow cards distributed almost evenly between the two sides. This high card count underlines the intense physical battle that unfolded, with Cerro Largo receiving four and Tacuarembo five yellow cards. This stat hints at the visitors’ ability to frustrate the home side effectively, forcing them into frequent fouls and disrupting their flow.

Tactically, both teams displayed an equivalent level of set-piece threat, each securing three corner kicks. However, Tacuarembo's ability to convert possession into a crucial goal during open play highlights their superior cohesiveness and effectiveness in the final third. Cerro Largo, despite fewer offsides, struggled to breach Tacuarembo's defense, underscoring their lack of cutting-edge in the attack and efficient execution from Tacuarembo’s defensive unit.
