In what was a highly competitive match in the Liga 1, the home side CD Union Comercio displayed a considerably stronger performance than their counterparts, Academia Cantolao. CD Union Comercio netted two goals versus Academia Cantolao's single goal, revealing a stronger attacking strategy that ultimately played a determining role in the match's outcome.

CD Union Comercio started the game on a high tempo, with their first goal being scored within the first ten minutes of the first half. The early lead purportedly set the pace and momentum for the rest of the game. This goal from CD Union Comercio was accompanied by a second goal in the 33rd minute of the first half, putting them into a well-deserved and comfortable 2-0 lead at half-time.

Despite this, Academia Cantolao demonstrated admirable resilience through their determined play, which saw them score a goal in the 67th minute of the match to make the scoreline 2-1. Although they were trailing behind, this singular goal showed Cantolao's resolve and added to the thrilling suspense of the tie.

It is intriguing though, albeit somewhat confusing, that the corner kick statistics contrasted with the goal statistics. While CD Union Comercio had fewer corner kicks (2), they managed to score more goals (2) than their opposition. Conversely, Cantolao, despite securing more corners (6), were only able to realize a single goal. This surprising inverse relation suggests inefficiency in Cantolao's use of their corner kicks, or an impressive defensive stance by CD Union Comercio.

Another notable point of comparison is the foul and yellow card count. While both teams played a clean game mostly, with no red cards and only one foul committed by CD Union Comercio, it was this lone foul that was sanctioned with a yellow card in the 50th minute of the second half. This, however, had no significant impact on the home team's performance.

To sum up, CD Union Comercio's early lead and the successful conversion of goal opportunities were pivotal to their victory. Academia Cantolao, on the other hand, despite presenting a higher number of corner kicks, failed to convert these into goal opportunities, which might have cost them the game. The game's statistics suggest that CD Union Comercio’s frontline was more effective, while their defense held up well under Cantolao's failed set-piece attempts. This game serves a reminder that you don't always need large statistical margins to make a significant impact. All it takes is timely and effective use of the few opportunities available.
