In a closely contested Campeonato Maranhense Serie A match, Imperatriz MA edged Real Codo EC/Viana by a narrow margin. Imperatriz's ability to capitalize on their attacking opportunities was key, as they converted two of their four shots on target into goals. Real Codo, despite managing the same number of shots on target, was unable to breach the home side's defense, underscoring their lack of clinical finishing in this encounter.

Defensive discipline played a significant role for both sides, as neither team received any cards throughout the match. This allowed a fluid game to unfold; however, the home team's organization in defense was more robust, managing to thwart the few threats posed by Real Codo's forwards. Both teams maintained composure and adhered to their tactical setups, but Imperatriz's defensive solidity gave them an edge, particularly in absorbing pressure without conceding.

Set pieces and dead balls did not heavily influence the outcome due to both teams displaying commendable discipline, resulting in a mere three corner kicks from Imperatriz compared to Real Codo's five. However, it was Imperatriz's ability to effectively manage transitions and counter-attacks that stood out. Their cohesive teamwork ensured that Real Codo's possession advantages couldn't be converted into tangible scoring opportunities, thus securing a well-deserved victory for the home side.
