The Copa Chile match between CD Iquique and CD Coquimbo Unido on the 5th of September 2024 featured a highly competitive and tactical encounter. The early goal by Coquimbo Unido, scored at just 2 minutes and 22 seconds, set the tone for their aggressive start. This immediate pressure put CD Iquique on the back foot and highlighted Coquimbo Unido's preparedness and sharp offensive strategy.

Coquimbo Unido’s second goal at the 24th minute further compounded CD Iquique's difficulties and showcased Coquimbo Unido's efficient finishing. This period of play highlighted the away team's effective collaboration and clinical execution in front of the goal, leading to a seemingly comfortable 2-0 lead by the midpoint of the first half. Despite the early lead, Coquimbo Unido’s discipline issues began to surface, as indicated by a yellow card in the 31st minute.

CD Iquique's response in the second half demonstrated resilience, as evidenced by their goal in the 57th minute, after a series of persistent attacks. Despite having fewer corner kicks (4) compared to Coquimbo Unido's (5), Iquique capitalized on their limited opportunities. Their shot conversion rate was comparatively high, but ultimately, a single goal was not enough to bridge the deficit.

CD Iquique maintained better discipline overall, ending with three yellow cards and one red card compared to Coquimbo Unido's four yellow cards. The red card for CD Iquique later in the match, however, severely diminished their competitiveness and likelihood of scoring an equalizer. Coquimbo Unido’s six offsides indicated a high-risk, high-reward strategy which, although prone to disciplinary action, highlighted their attacking intent and positioning strategies, often pushing the boundaries of Iquique's defensive line.

Finally, the match saw a staggering number of fouls, but CD Iquique’s inability to capitalize on set-piece opportunities, combined with the adverse impact of the red card, means they couldn’t fully exploit Coquimbo Unido’s disciplinary lapses. The game was ultimately decided by Coquimbo Unido's clinical early goals and CD Iquique's relatively lesser ability to convert late pressure into additional goals.
