Set-pieces also played a significant role, with three of the six goals coming from dead-ball situations. The defensive line of both teams was often caught square, and midfield battles were largely bypassed as the game shifted rapidly from end to end.

- Daniel Ortíz (Silvio Pettirossi): Came off the bench to net the equaliser and injected energy into the hosts’ attack.
Table Impact
The point moved Silvio Pettirossi up one place to eighth, while Sportivo Iteno remained in ninth. Both sides are in the lower half of the PAR D3 table, but the fighting spirit shown suggests they have the resilience to climb the standings in the coming weeks.
