First Half: San Joaquin Dominate Early

The visitors took control from the first whistle. Inside 10 minutes, Real Juventud San Joaquin opened the scoring through a well‑worked move that ended with winger Bastián Vega slotting home from inside the box.

However, San Joaquin restored their two‑goal lead before half‑time when midfielder Lucas Pizarro fired in a long‑range effort that the goalkeeper could only parry into the net.
