In the Liga 1 matchup on 14 July 2024, FBC Melgar emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Cusco FC. Cusco FC’s inability to capitalize on their few chances, and crucially, their failure to earn any corner kicks throughout the match underscored their lack of offensive threat. Conversely, FBC Melgar's efficient performance was highlighted by their early goals scored within the first 40 minutes, demonstrating superior tactical execution.

FBC Melgar’s first goal came at 16:46, setting the pace for the match and putting Cusco FC on the backfoot from early on. The second goal at 40:14 consolidated their dominance and likely impacted Cusco FC's morale negatively. While Cusco FC's defense managed to avoid any red cards, they still received a yellow card at 35:57, reflecting their increasing desperation and pressure. In contrast, Melgar maintained discipline, avoiding any bookings or red cards, underlining their organized and controlled approach.

The disparity in fouls also played a crucial role. Cusco FC committed 7 fouls compared to Melgar's 4, indicating a more aggressive and perhaps frantic defensive effort, which can often disrupt team cohesion and fluidity in play. Melgar's ability to manage the game with fewer fouls suggests they maintained better control over the match tempo, further supported by their minimal need for corners (only one corner kick) showing their proficiency in open play leading to goals.

In terms of teamwork and performance, Cusco FC struggled to find coherence, evident from their zero corner kicks and significant number of fouls. Their lack of offensive opportunities and controlled aggression did not help them regain control of the game. On the contrary, Melgar’s disciplined approach, effective early scoring, and tactical efficiency were the key factors that clinched their 2-0 victory, marking them as the superior team in this encounter.
