It was a high-tempo affair, with end-to-end action captivating the spectators. The goalkeepers were on top form, making remarkable saves to deny their opponents any breakthrough. However, the deadlock was finally broken in the second half when Deportivo earned a free kick just outside the penalty box. In a moment of brilliance, Zac played a clever back-pass to Harry, who unleashed a powerful shot to find the back of the net, giving Deportivo a precious 1-0 lead.
