Tactical Story

Their midfield trio consistently won the ball back in advanced areas, allowing the front three to attack Dynamo Puerto’s back line before it could set. Dynamo Puerto, playing a 4-2-3-1, struggled to build from the back under pressure but looked dangerous on the counter, particularly through their pacey wingers. The key difference was Miranda’s set-piece execution and their ability to convert half-chances into goals. Dynamo’s defensive line was often caught too high, leaving space behind for Miranda’s forwards to exploit.

Midfielder Jhonny Salcedo controlled the tempo and provided an assist, while Alexander Rondón added a goal and an assist from the left wing. For Dynamo Puerto FC, Carlos Mejías scored the penalty and was their most creative outlet, while José Rivas grabbed the first goal and worked tirelessly up front.
