The hosts commanded 66 percent of possession and generated 15 shots to break the deadlock after a quiet opening period, while limiting their visitors to just a single attempt on target from nine total shots. Santiago Thomas Castro starred with a match-leading rating of 8, backed by L. Balerdi who earned a 7.6 rating for the home side.
