Independiente Santa Fe vs Deportivo Pasto saw the home side fail to capitalize on their numerical advantage in corner kicks and shots, ultimately succumbing 0-2 to the visitors. Despite Santa Fe's dominance in earning 8 corner kicks compared to Deportivo Pasto's 0, the home team failed to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. The decisive moments came from Pasto's effective counter-attacks, which resulted in two second-half goals.

The distribution of yellow cards highlights the heated nature of the match, especially for Deportivo Pasto, who received four yellow cards in quick succession within a ten-minute window. The first yellow for Pasto came at 00:58:29 and was quickly followed by three more at roughly five-minute intervals. Santa Fe struggled to maintain discipline as well, reflected in their two yellow cards received later in the second half, culminating in an even more detrimental red card that saw them reduced to ten men.

Substitutions and offensive plays by Santa Fe were not enough to turn the tide, as the team failed to exploit their set-piece opportunities and open play chances. Deportivo Pasto, despite being frequently cautioned, maintained defensive solidity and took advantage of their set-piece opportunities to secure a two-goal lead. Santa Fe’s aggressiveness, seen in their total of two yellow cards and a red card, may have disrupted their rhythm and ultimately affected their composure in crucial moments.

Deportivo Pasto's ability to convert their limited chances was the deciding factor in this fixture. They made efficient use of their attacks and kept a tight defense against Santa Fe's advances. This match highlights the importance of not just dominating the stats such as corner kicks or having fewer offsides, but also the vital need for clinical finishing and disciplined defending which Deportivo Pasto exemplified.
