In a tightly contested match, Deportivo Táchira edged out Estudiantes de Mérida with a 3-2 victory. The early lead by Táchira, marked by a strategic goal before the 30-minute mark, set the tone for a competitive encounter. Estudiantes' response early in the second half equalized the score, but a composed reaction from Táchira two goals midway through the half solidified their position. Estudiantes managed to reduce the deficit late in the game, yet Táchira's initial buffer secured the win.

The game was marked by its physical intensity, evidenced by a total of eight yellow cards, five of which were awarded to Táchira. This high number of infractions suggests a robust defensive effort by Táchira, likely aimed at disrupting Estudiantes' attacking rhythm. Despite their aggressive play resulting in frequent bookings, Táchira maintained their discipline well enough to avoid any red cards and managed to control key phases of the match.

In terms of team dynamics, both teams showed limited reliance on corner kicks as a source of goal opportunities, with only one corner each. Estudiantes managed to stay onside throughout the match, compared to Táchira, who were caught offside three times—indicative of their proactive, albeit risky, attacking strategy. Estudiantes struggled to convert their 55-second-half possession into more meaningful goal attempts, while Táchira's strategic finishing and efficient shot selection ultimately outperformed the home side.
