The match, which kicked off at 7:00 AM local time, was decided by a single goal, allowing the visiting *rojiamarillos* to secure a crucial three points on the road. This result continued Herediano's push up the league table while leaving Puntarenas to rue missed opportunities in a tightly contested fixture. The decisive moment arrived in the second half after a first period of few clear-cut chances. Herediano, showing their typical organization, broke the deadlock through a well-worked team move that was finished clinically by their attacking midfielder. Puntarenas FC responded with increased urgency, applying pressure in the final third, but they were repeatedly thwarted by Herediano's resolute defense and an alert goalkeeper who made a couple of key saves to preserve the clean sheet. The home side's frustration was compounded by a late chance that sailed over the crossbar, sealing their fate.
