The highlight of the match was evident in the first half. Audax Italiano opened the proceedings with an early goal in just under 10 minutes, offering a glimmer of high-spirited performance on their part. However, Universidad de Chile swiftly equalized just three minutes later, asserting their position in the game.

The second half saw Universidad de Chile turning the tables with a goal at approximately the 73 minutes mark. This gave the away team a vital 2-1 lead, which eventually served as the game-changer for the outcome of this particular match.

In terms of play and performance indicators, Universidad de Chile appeared to be superior. They managed a total of 4 corner kicks against Audax Italiano’s 2 indicating a higher degree of offensive play. Both teams seemed fairly matched in terms of offside infringements having registered 2 offsides each.

The difference in discipline levels was critical. Audax Italiano incurred 3 yellow cards and 2 red cards signaling a confused and aggressive strategy.
