The match between Independiente del Valle and Universitario De Deportes was a tightly contested affair, highlighted by a solitary goal that defined the outcome. Independiente del Valle secured a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to an early second-half goal. Both teams demonstrated disciplined defensive structures, which limited the scoring opportunities, as evident by the low number of corner kicks and offsides throughout the game. The home team, with three corner kicks, had slightly more attacking set-piece opportunities compared to the away team's two.

A crucial factor in Independiente's victory was their ability to remain organized and avoid the offside trap, as they recorded zero offsides. In contrast, Universitario was caught offside three times, which disrupted their attacking flow and opportunities to level the score. The disciplined defensive play was also reflected in the foul count, with only one foul committed by Independiente, showcasing their composed approach. Universitario, surprisingly, did not commit any fouls, but their inability to efficiently penetrate the home team's defense was evident in their lack of scoring.

The midfield battle saw the home team sustain pressure without resorting to excessive physicality, as reflected in the modest number of yellow cards distributed. Independiente del Valle received two yellow cards, both in the second half, indicating occasional lapses in concentration. Universitario received one yellow card just a second after Independiente’s second card, perhaps highlighting their frustration at that game stage. The discipline in maintaining defensive composure without escalating tensions played a significant role in preserving Independiente's lead until the final whistle.
