In this Serie A match between Mushuc Runa SC and CD El Nacional Quito, the competition was fierce from the start to finish, but CD El Nacional Quito walked away with the victory, scoring 1 goal and keeping Mushuc Runa SC off the scoreboard.

CD El Nacional Quito showed an early aggressive effort scoring in the ninth minute of the first half, which eventually proved to be the decisive factor in the match. The rest of the game was characterized by mutual aggression, with both teams equally committing 6 fouls each, demonstrating neither side was giving the other an easy ride.

The disciplinary counts in this match were particularly noteworthy. The home team, Mushuc Runa SC, acquired the lion's share of cautions, with 3 yellow cards, 2 of which were in the latter stages of the second half, potentially signaling frustration creeping into their gameplay, particularly after being a goal down from 9th minute. CD El Nacional Quito also faced disciplinary action with 2 yellow cards, one in later stages of first half and the other one early in the second half, which may have created some pressure on them but they were able to hold their ground sufficiently to protect their lead.

Mushuc Runa SC had an edge with 7 corner kicks against CD El Nacional Quito's 6. However, the ability to convert these opportunities into goals was evidently lacking in the case of Mushuc Runa SC.

Despite having 1 offside, CD El Nacional Quito managed to defend their title and secured the victory.

In conclusion, the single goal score early in the game by CD El Nacional Quito, coupled with their capable defense, defined this match's outcome.
