This Liga Nacional clash between Deportivo Guastatoya and CSD Comunicaciones held on December 17, 2023, ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams were close in performance, however, it was the first half of the match where all the significant events occurred, setting the tone and dictating the outcome.

CSD Comunicaciones made a fast start, bagging an early goal at the 14:46 mark. The remainder of the first half saw Deportivo Guastatoya fight back and equalize at 39:33.
