In a Primera A face-off held on 21st September 2023, Deportivo Pereira played host to Club Union Magdalena. The match's single definitive blow came early from Union Magdalena in the first half at 7 minutes 28 seconds, proving to be the only goal of the hard-fought encounter. Despite numerous attempts to equalize, Deportivo Pereira failed to capitalize on their opportunities, thus turning over victory to their opponents.

Statistically, Deportivo Pereira seemed to have been largely on the offensive, as denoted by their corner kicks totaling to 3 compared to the Union's solitary corner. This evidences that Deportivo Pereira had dominant ball movement in the opposition's half showcasing better positioning and territorial control. However, they ultimately lacked the finishing touch and precision in the final third to make an impact on the scoreline.

A glaring factor that stood out was the discipline, or lack thereof, showcased by Deportivo Pereira. They were shown a yellow card in the first half at 25 minutes 51 seconds, indicating that they perhaps allowed the early setback to affect their style of play. In terms of fouls committed, the home side also led 4-1, demonstrating a lack of strategic and clean interceptions, which possibly broke their momentum and gave the opposition necessary breathing spaces.

Equally significant to the outcome was Deportivo's inefficiency on the offense. They had the same number of offsides as their counterparts at 1, suggesting a struggle to break down Union Magdalena's defensive line effectively and to time their runs behind the backline, subsequently neutralizing their offensive threat.

To sum it up, despite having an intimidating presence in their opposition's half, with more corners, Deportivo Pereira was either too hasty or off-timed in their attempts, as the offsides and fouls indicated. This led to missed opportunities and a failed comeback despite a commendable territorial control. On the other hand, Club Union Magdalena seemed to have displayed greater discipline and strategic competence, managing to hold on to their early lead till the final whistle, and hence walking away from this fixture as deserving victors awaiting their next challenge.
