The match between Metropolitanos FC and Academia Anzoategui proved to be a blend of discipline issues and early decisive play. Academia Anzoategui took immediate control, scoring within the first two minutes, which set the pace for the first half. They doubled their lead before the mid-point of the first half, capitalizing on the home team's shaky defense during critical moments. Metropolitanos FC struggled to respond, showing frailties when defending rapid-counter attacks.

Metropolitanos FC was proactive, especially in earning ten corner kicks compared to the away team's five, indicating their aggressive pursuit in offense. However, the efficiency in converting these set-pieces into goals was lacking. Academia’s defensive structure successfully absorbed the pressure during these plays. Meanwhile, Metropolitanos were caught offside only once, suggesting their forward plays were not as sharp or well-executed in breaking the opponents' defensive line, unlike Academia, who faced five offsides, a testament to their persistent forward pressure.

The discipline on the field significantly impacted Metropolitanos FC. Accumulating six yellow cards and eventually being reduced to ten men, the home side's strategy suffered, restricting their ability to play with full intensity. In contrast, Academia Anzoategui managed to keep their composure better, despite four yellow cards, maintaining a full squad on the pitch, which contributed to preserving their lead. Overall, the lack of discipline and missed conversion opportunities on set-pieces for Metropolitanos FC were decisive, allowing Anzoategui’s early lead to become insurmountable.
