The Reserve League clash between CSD Defensa y Justicia Reserves and Deportivo Riestra Reserves demonstrated contrasting strengths and styles that ultimately tipped the balance in favor of the home side. Defensa y Justicia's early and rapid goal within the first four minutes shocked Riestra’s defense, who struggled to regain composure quickly. The home team's relentless pressing saw them double their lead shortly afterward, showcasing their effective exploitation of Riestra’s defensive lapses in the early stages of the game.

Statistically, Deportivo Riestra might have commanded more offensive pressure with a higher count of corner kicks, totaling nine against Defensa’s four. However, their failure to convert these set-piece opportunities highlights a critical lack of efficacy in capitalizing on potentially pivotal moments. This underperformance in set-pieces was compounded by Riestra's inability to maintain discipline, as evidenced by their accrual of three yellow cards, further disrupting their rhythm.

While Defensa y Justicia were slightly less disciplined with 17 fouls compared to Riestra’s 12, their strategic fouling seemed aimed at disrupting Riestra's flow without crossing into reckless territory, since they did not receive a red card. The teams demonstrated similar tendencies towards offside traps, though the home team's four offsides indicate a more aggressive and perhaps less calculated offensive strategy. Ultimately, Defensa y Justicia’s ability to establish and defend their lead early on, coupled with effective game management, was the decisive factor in securing their 2-1 victory.
