In this exhilarating match of Copa Sudamericana between the home team CS Emelec and the visiting side CA Huracan, the home team emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. An early goal secured by CS Emelec in the first half (00:16:24) set the tone for the rest of the match.

With no offside calls made against them and five corner kicks, compared to CA Huracán's three, CS Emelec had more opportunities to capitalize. However, it's worth noting that they were only able to convert one goal from these opportunities. Although CA Huracan was unfortunate in the goal department, they did outdo CS Emelec in fouls with 15 in comparison to CS Emelec's 11, indicating their aggressive approach. The absence of goals for Huracan can be attributed to the lack of scoring opportunities and violation of the offside rule observed once.

The match was fraught with tension as indicated by the eight yellow cards issued equally between both teams during the match. Interestingly, Huracan collected three out of their four yellow cards in the second half, hinting at rising frustration levels as the match progressed. At the same time, CS Emelec stays disciplined until late in the second half when they accumulated their final two yellow cards. This less aggressive behavior in the first half possibly served their strategy well, keeping them focused on controlling the game and maintaining the lead.

Both teams, however, were fortunate to avoid any red cards during the match, indicating that while the game was fraught with tension, it managed to avoid escalating into blatant misconduct or severe foul play.

In summary, while both teams shared an equal number of yellow cards, CS Emelec demonstrated a more controlled performance with fewer fouls and no offsides. Their early goal in the first half was a testament to their efficiency and created a pivotal turning point which ultimately led to their victory. The major factors that impacted the game were the regulation violations from CA Huracan reflected in their fouls and offsides, and the more disciplined and strategic play from CS Emelec, effectively utilising their on-field advantages to secure the win.
