In the end, Instituto AC Cordoba edged out Deportivo Riestra with a 2-1 victory after a performance that exhibited superior goal conversion efficiency despite fewer corner kicks.

Breaking down the goals, Instituto AC Cordoba drew first blood early in the game within just 10 mins 31 seconds of kickoff.

However, they failed to convert these opportunities into significant threats.

Instituto AC Cordoba reinforced their grip on victory in the second half with their second goal in the 51st minute.
