In a match dominated by efficiency and precise finishing, LD Alajuelense emerged victorious over Santos de Guapiles with a 3-1 scoreline. The turning point in the game was Alajuelense’s clinical finishing, which was evident from their ability to convert three out of their substantial opportunities into goals. While Santos de Guapiles struck early in the first half, taking the lead, their inability to capitalize further was evident in their lack of shots on target compared to their opposition. Santos seemed well-prepared but was let down by a lack of precision in the final third.

The midfield battleground was crucial, with Alajuelense leveraging their superior ball control and passing accuracy to oversee the tempo and distribute the play. Alajuelense's eight corner kicks underline their offensive effort underpinned by structured teamwork, effectively creating chances that pressured the home side persistently. Santos de Guapiles had only four corner kicks, demonstrating a struggle to sustain offensive pressure and command the forward areas, a deficiency Alajuelense exploited through well-timed counter-attacks and superior set-piece play.

With neither team receiving any red or yellow cards, the match was a display of disciplined play from both sides, removing potential disruptions that could have affected momentum or strategy. The absence of bookings also meant that the game flowed relatively freely, allowing Alajuelense to execute their tactical plans without the hindrance of disciplinary actions. This effective blending of discipline and attacking intent allowed the away team to solidify their victory by putting an additional seal on their lead with the third goal in the latter stages of the match.
