Santa Clara was the first to draw blood early in the first half, scoring their only goal at the 14th minute mark. However, what was evident in the first half was the amount of discipline the home team lacked, shown by their three yellow cards within just the first half of the game.

On the other hand, Santa Clara's commitment to a strategic and clean game was also put to the test with the home team's aggressive play, leading them to push the boundaries and earn two yellow cards in the first half. The first half was, however, filled with much tension, punctuated with numerous fouls - the home team committing nine and Santa Clara seven.

Meanwhile, Santa Clara managed to keep a slightly cleaner sheet with only 3 yellow cards and fewer fouls committed, which could attribute to the disciplined nature of the away team.
