In a thrilling encounter in the Primera Division, Audax Italiano secured a 1-0 victory over O'Higgins FC, with a quick goal in the 13th minute setting the tone. The home side capitalized on an early scoring opportunity, showcasing clinical finishing that was missing from O'Higgins FC throughout the match. While Audax Italiano found the back of the net, O'Higgins struggled to break down the disciplined defense of the home team, despite having a slightly higher number of corner kicks.

Throughout the match, Audax Italiano maintained defensive solidity, highlighted by the absence of any offsides, indicating a well-coordinated back line that caught the visitors flat-footed on multiple occasions. O'Higgins pushed for an equalizer but were unable to convert their set-piece opportunities, as the lack of offsides by Audax Italiano points to a controlled and organized counter-attacking strategy that neutralized O'Higgins' forays forward.

The midfield proved to be a battleground, with both teams receiving multiple yellow cards, two for O'Higgins and three for Audax Italiano. The home side's discipline slightly waned in the second half, evidenced by two yellow cards after halftime, but they managed to hold O'Higgins at bay. The visitors' inability to take advantage of set plays and the numerical lesser count of yellow cards implied a less aggressive but ultimately ineffective approach in breaking down the home team's organization.

The lack of goals from O'Higgins can be attributed to missed opportunities from shots on and off target, coupled with an ineffective attacking strategy against Audax Italiano’s resolute defense. The home team dealt with offensive pressures efficiently, managing the game adeptly despite their more aggressive play, reflected in the card count towards the end. Audax Italiano’s early goal and defensive togetherness were crucial in their narrow yet deserved win over O'Higgins FC.
