The data elucidates the significant efforts by both teams which, ultimately, led to a narrow victory for the home team, Cusco FC, who topped Deportivo Garcilaso by a score of 3-2.

Despite Deportivo Garcilaso having more shots on target (15 compared to Cusco FC's 12), the latter managed to convert their opportunities effectively leading to three successful goals. Significantly, all these goals were assisted highlighting Cusco's impactful collaboration within their team. In contrast, Deportivo Garcilaso wasn't as clinical, with only two assists leading to two goals from their 15 shots on target, showcasing a slightly lower conversion rate.

Another striking comparison can be seen in the goalkeeping plays. Cusco FC's goalkeeper made 9 decisive saves compared to 10 saves by Deportivo Garcilaso's goalkeeper.

Both the team's performances were professionally impressive and make for a highly competitive Liga 1 season ahead.
