Deportivo Municipal delivered a confident performance in their clash against University of Sports, securing an important victory in front of their home supporters. From the opening whistle, Municipal pushed forward aggressively, using quick transitions and wide play to destabilize the visitors’ defensive structure. Their early pressure paid off in the 26th minute when a sharp through ball split the defense, allowing Municipal’s striker to place a precise shot into the far corner for the opening goal.

University of Sports responded with composure, gradually gaining more control of the ball and forcing Municipal to defend in deeper zones. Their persistence resulted in an equalizer just before halftime, when a well-organized attacking sequence led to a curling shot from the edge of the box that left the goalkeeper with no chance. The goal shifted momentum, and the visiting side started the second half with renewed confidence.

Despite the pressure, Municipal remained disciplined and waited for the right moment to strike back. That opportunity came in the 74th minute from a set piece: a perfectly delivered corner found one of Municipal’s defenders rising highest to send a powerful header into the net, restoring their lead. In the final minutes, University of Sports pushed forward with everything they had, but Municipal’s compact defensive shape held firm, securing a hard-earned 2–1 win
