CS Deportivo Merlo had an electrifying start to the game, scoring their first goal within first 17:56 minutes of the first half and doubling their lead just two minutes later. Their quick goals not only were a shock to the defense of CA Colegiales but also gave a significant morale boost that was reflected throughout their game.

The CA Colegiales made a strong comeback in the second half scoring their only goal at 51:17, bringing them up to 2-1 and opening the possibility for an equalizing goal. Unfortunately, this chance was thwarted when CS Deportivo Merlo scored their third goal at 68:11 securing their victory.

However, the red card did not seem to impact the team’s performance. Meanwhile, CA Colegiales only received one yellow card in the second half at 92:17 without any further punishments.

CS Deportivo Merlo's strategy revolved less around getting the ball into the corner and more focused on straight target attacks, as seen by their significantly lower corner kicks, having only 2 compared to the 7 corner kicks of CA Colegiales.

Nevertheless, there were more offsides from CA Colegiales (3 offsides) than from CS Deportivo Merlo (2 offsides), which may indicate the latter's superior discipline in maintaining their formation.

In conclusion, the match was decided by the strong start and the persistent defence of CS Deportivo Merlo despite being a man short, combined with a good grasp of attack timings to avoid offsides. While CA Colegiales did put significant effort to come back in the game, they weren't quite successful in converting their chances into goals, as evidenced by the high number of corner kicks and offsides.
