The clash between CD Universidad Católica Quito and LDU Quito ended in a 2-4 victory for the visitors, with a clear display of first-half dominance by LDU Quito. The away team's early lead within the first nine minutes set the tone, forcing Católica to play catch-up throughout the match. Despite the home team's spirited attempts, seen in their nine corner kicks against LDU's two, their efforts were thwarted by LDU's robust defensive actions and tactical discipline.

LDU's clinical finishing was a decisive factor as they capitalized on their limited opportunities, with four goals from fewer corner situations. This efficiency in converting chances into goals, combined with their defensive aggression, created a challenging dynamic for Católica. Conversely, Universidad Católica failed to effectively turn their superior number of corners into game-changing opportunities, hinting at their inefficiencies in set-piece execution and aerial duels in the box.

The second half witnessed a shift in momentum, with Católica pulling back two late goals, assisted partly by LDU going down to ten men after a red card. This numerical disadvantage for LDU allowed Católica more space and opportunities, as seen in their improved scoring frequency. However, LDU's early cushion and tactical resilience held firm enough to secure victory, positioning their early-game strategy and execution as the key contributors to their success.
