In this Serie A clash, CD El Nacional Quito failed to convert their home advantage into a positive result, as they lost 2-0 to the visiting team, LDU Quito. Statistically, despite the home team securing 4 corner kicks, they could not translate these chances into goals. On the other hand, LDU Quito capitalized on their 6 corner kicks, with two culminating into goals.

A significant element of the match was the timing and quantity of yellow cards, exposing the defensive errors and disciplinary issues on both sides. CD El Nacional received 3 yellow cards - two in the first half and one in the second half. The first came relatively early in the match, at 00:14:56, which could have put a damper on their aggression and momentum. A second one late in the first half (00:39:26) and another early in the second half (01:05:16) may have further hampered their abilities to play with the needed assertiveness and freedom.

LDU Quito, however, had a more even distribution of yellow cards with two in each half. Interestingly, they received three of their four yellow cards after scoring their first goal, possibly indicating a strategy of aggressive or disruptive play to protect their lead.

While each team kicked off the first half with a yellow card in quick succession (CD El Nacional Quito at 00:14:56 and LDU Quito at 00:15:24), it was LDU Quito that maintained the surgical precision in using their corner kicks. Most notably, their two goals came in at 01:07:25 and 01:30:05 of the second half, which coincides with a period of heightened yellow cards - indicative of an exciting, high-pressure segment of the game.

Despite the lack of red cards from both sides, the frequency of yellow cards underscores how the high intensity of this match, which perhaps benefited the visiting team more. LDU Quito's tactical play during high-pressure periods and their higher conversion rate from corner-kicks were arguably the decisive factors in their 2-0 victory over CD El Nacional Quito.
