The only goal of the match was meticulously netted in by the home team during the first half at the 10:48 mark. It is noticeable that the early goal was pivotal in shaping the rest of the game, shifting the match towards a defensive priority for Azuriz FC.

Looking into the statistics, it appears that the PSTC Procopense held a lion's share of the attacking momentum, earning themselves a significantly higher count of corner kicks at 12 to Azuriz FC’s 5.
