The match was marked by a high level of physicality and discipline from both teams, with fouls very low for both teams, Defensa y Justicia committing only 2 fouls, and Independiente Medellin with a total of 1 foul during the match.

Independiente Medellin capitalized early with a quick goal in the first 10 seconds of the match. Defensa y Justicia showed an impressive resilience, striking back with a goal in the 67th minute of the second half. This game truly highlighted the relentless spirit of competitive football, with both teams providing quite an electrifying performance.

Discipline wise, the match was full of caution as both the teams accumulated a high number of cards. Independiente Medellin collected a staggering 5 yellow cards, while Defensa y Justicia hit a total of 4. This highlights the intense battle that took place in the middle of the park, with both teams keen to impose themselves and prevent the opposition from establishing their rhythm.

However, it was the hosts, Defensa y Justicia, who firmly dominated in set pieces, resulting in them earning 10 corner kicks compared to Independiente Medellin's none. This underlines Defensa y Justicia’s superiority in terms of dictating play and putting constant pressure on Independiente Medellin’s defense. However, their efficiency in converting these chances into goals could be questioned, considering they managed to net only one time.
